Dog Gone

Customer: Can I get the ribs cut off this roast?

Me: Absolutely!

Customer: Can I give them to my dogs?

Me: I don’t know if I would. There’s a possibility they might splinter. I do know some dog owners that do give them to dogs. It’s really up to you.

Customer: Do you think they’ll splinter?

Me: I don’t know. I’ve heard they splinter. It’s hard to say.

Customer: You really should have given me a strait forward answer.

Me: I’m not a vet unfortunately. (Friendly laugh) I’m a butcher.
