Cosgrove tried to convince a talent agent that his dog Rector could talk.
"What covers a house?" asked the trainer.
Rector replied, "Roof!"
"And what is the opposite of smooth?" asked Cosgrove.
"R-r-rough!" said the dog.
"Who was the Sultan of Swat?"
"R-r-r-Ruth!" answered the animal.
Whereupon the agent threw Cosgrove and the dog out of his office and stood glowering
at them in the doorway.
The dog looked up at him and said, "Could it have been DiMaggio?"
