Topic: Anyone want an original genuine poodle? (Page 1 of 1)

This is too wacky:

Knew I was in the wrong biz. Should have went into the poodle racket.

LOL!

Those Japanese have 1,600 bucks to throw on a stupid pet and yet they're not even capable to google or wikipedia to figure what they're buying.

Also, even if you never saw an actual poodle, you might be suspicious by the size of the "dog" ... or maybe you'd think you made a good deal and ended up with more poodle for the same price.

i guess it wasn't a sheepdog?

While there's life there's hope; if you're a salesman... and even then there's always coffins to the rellies

What next; ice to Eskimos?

I wonder if chihuahuas could be sold as 'the original rat'. The import costs have got to be much cheaper than sheep.

I really want to see what those sheep they bought looked like! I can't believe it was just a plain lamb

Wow. A country that produced the first truly bipedal robots and manufactures some of the most advanced technology in the world... and can't tell the difference between a sheep and a dog?

One couple said they became suspicious when they took their "dog" to have its claws trimmed and were told it had hooves.

...yeah, that'd be a bit of a giveaway...

Well that really sucks because I just slaughtered my Japanese poodle and roasted it thinking I was eating lamb.

Lotsa mint sauce, SW; ya won't notice the difference

Haha - I knew it seemed too unreal. Good for a laugh either way.
