Robyn's favorite Border Collie joke:
Once there was a shepherd and his Border Collie, Jack. On a snowy winter's night, the shepherd took his dog into the local pub. "Hey," he says to the barkeeper, "My Border Collie here is the smartest dog in the world... in fact, he can talk." The barkeeper said, "Oh, he can talk, huh? Well, I'd like to see that!"
The shepherd then suggested that if the dog said three words, that they would both drink free of charge that evening. The barkeeper agreed.
The shepherd asked the dog, "What is over our heads?" The Border Collie said, "Roof!"
The shepherd asked Jack, "How does sandpaper feel?" Jack answered, "Rough..."
Finally, the shepherd asked Jack, "What is a tree made of?" Naturally, the dog replied, "Bark."
The barkeeper wasn't at all amused.... he threw the shepherd and the dog out into a snowbank, and there the pair sat.
At last, Jack looked at his master and asked, "Can you tell me which question I missed?"
