A guy and his dog walks into a talent scout's office.
"I have a highly talented and intelligent talking dog that..", begins the man and got interrupted by the talent scout:"Listen, I get at least one talking dog act a day, so not to waste each other's time, please leave my office. This act has become so tired already."
"Please sir",the man implored, "All i ask is ten seconds of your time. I promise it will be worth your while. Everywhere I get turned away without even getting a foot in the door. Ten seconds is all i need to change your mind."
"Ten seconds only. Screw this up and i will personally throw both you out of here ", said the talent scout
"Thank you sir. You wont regret this" said the man
He asked the dog:"What is the protective layer on a tree called?"
The dog said:"Bark"
The man asked:"What grade sandpaper is used in industrial application?"
"Rough", came the reply
"What is the structure on top of a building called?", and the dog replied:"Roof"
"And my final question, what was the name of a well known and important woman in Biblical history", and the reply was:"Ruth"
Enraged, the talent scout grabbed both the man and the dog, threw them both into the street and shouted:"Dont bother looking for work in this city again!"
As the two walked home, the man said:"Thanks a lot. You blew the very last chance we had."
The dog replied:"Hey don't blame me for your stupid technical questions! If you phrased the last question to something like 'name a woman from ancient history', I could have said Helen of Troy, Joan of Arc or Cleopatra but no..."
