A circus fell on hard times and had to sell its animals. The lion tamer was left with just one potential trainee--a bassett hound. Fortunately, the dog quickly learned the act. There was just one problem: the trainer could not put his head in the dog's mouth because it was too small. He solved that by sticking his foot in.
On opening night, the crowd, which had never seen such an act, went wild. "Encore, encore!" the crowd yelled.
The trainer had not considered an encore, and improvised by sticking his second foot in the dog's mouth. Choking, the bassett panicked and bit off the trainer's feet.
The moral: Don't put all your legs in one bassett.
