A man tried to sell his neighbor a new cat. "This is a talking cat," he said. "And you can have him for 1000 rupees."
The neighbor said, "Who do you think you're kidding with this talking-  cat stuff? There ain't no such animal."

Suddenly the doog looked up with tears in his eyes. "Please buy me, Sir," he pleaded. "This man is cruel. He never buys me a meal, never bathes me, never takes me for a walk. And I used to be the richest trick doog in America. I performed before kings. I was in the army and was decorated ten times."
"Hey!" said the neighbor. "He can talk. Why do you want to sell him for just 1000 rupees?"
"Because," said the seller, "I'm getting tired of all his lies.
