ROVER ATE MY SON’S HOMEWORK

"Miss Johnson, I know you're going to have trouble believing this, but Rover ate my son's homework on the way to school."

"Your dog likes the taste of paper?"

"Oh no, Rover doesn't like the taste of paper. Not at all. He never eats paper."

"Then why on earth did he eat the homework?"

"Well, my husband bought this new Ford Mustang and Ford has joined the green movement and, well....."

"I don't see the connection."

"Miss Johnson, it's really all Ford's fault. Instead of making their seat gel out of petroleum products, they decided to make them out of soybean foam."

"Soybean foam?"

"Yes, Miss Johnson. And whatever they treated the soybeans with must have tasted like steak and gravy because Rover tore right through the homework, the leather seat covers, everything, just to get at the soybean foam."

"You're telling me that your dog ate your back seats?"

"Yes, Miss Johnson. And I think this green movement has just gone too far."

"This is too much."

"You're absolutely right, Miss Johnson. I have a good mind to call Henry Ford and give him a real whatfor."
