Nancy Pelosi called Harry Reid into her office one day and said,"Harry, I have a plan to win back Middle America in 2012!"
"Great, Nancy, but how?" asked Harry.
"We'll get some cheesy clothes and shoes, like most middleAmericans wear, then stop at the pound and pick up a Labrador
Retriever. Then, we'll go to a nice old country bar in Arizona and show them how much admiration and respect we have for
the hard working people living there."
So they did, and found just the place they were looking for in Prescott, Arizona. With the dog in tow, they walked inside and stepped up to the
bar. The bartender Wally took a step back and said, "Hey! Aren't you Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi?"
"Yes we are!" said Nancy, "And what a lovely town you have here. We were passing through and Harry suggested we stop and take in
some local color." They ordered a round of bourbon for the whole bar, and started chatting up a storm with anyone who would listen.
A few minutes later, a grizzled old farmer came in, walked up to the Labrador, lifted up its tail, looked underneath, shrugged
his shoulders and walked out.
A few moments later, in came another old farmer. He walked up to the dog, lifted up its tail, looked underneath, scratched his
head and left the bar. For the next hour, another dozen farmers came in, lifted the dog's tail, and left shaking their heads.
Finally, Nancy asked, "Why did all those old farmers come in and look under the dog's tail? Is it some sort of custom?"
"Lord no," said the bartender. "Someone's out there running around town, claiming there's a Labrador Retriever in here with two assholes!"
