¡@¡@Upon entering the little country store, the stranger noticed a sign saying "DANGER! BEWARE OF DOG!" posted on the glass door. Inside he noticed a harmless old hound dog asleep on the floor besides the cash  register.

¡@¡@He asked the store manager, "Is THAT the dog folks are supposed to beware of?"

¡@¡@"Yep, that's him," he replied.

¡@¡@The stranger couldn't help but be amused. "That certainly doesn't look like a dangerous dog to me. Why in the world would you post that sign?"

¡@¡@"Because," the owner replied, "before I posted that sign, people kept tripping  over him."
