Sold Out

Morrissey, the ventriloquist, was on the way down to a bar for a drink when a big shaggy dog fell in at his side.
They went in, the ventriloquist ordered a scotch, and for a laugh he looked at the dog and said, "Well, are you having the usual?"
"No, thanks, I've had enough this morning," said the dog.
The barman was flabbergasted. He offered $50 for the animal.
"No, sir!" said Morrissey. "I've had him since he was a pup."
'Til make it $100!" said the bartender.
Morrissey shook his head. When the offer went to $500 the ventriloquist grabbed the money and headed for the door. "All right," he added, "take good care of him." With a last look at the dog, "Farewell, old pal!"
"Old pal, my foot!" said the dog, "after what you've just done I'll never speak to another human as long as I live."
