A blonde woman and her husband were lying in bed, listening to the neighbor’s dog bark in the backyard. It had been going on for hours, and any hope of a peaceful night was slipping away. Finally, she threw back the covers.

“I’ve had enough of this,” she announced, getting up and heading downstairs. Her husband stayed behind, waiting for whatever she had planned to bring some much-needed quiet to the house

Puzzled, her husband turned to her. “The dog is still barking. What have you been doing?” She answered with the satisfaction of someone who had settled the matter once and for all: “I put the dog in our backyard… let’s see how THEY like all the barking!”
