A guy visits Amsterdam and while there meets and falls in love with a young woman. He moves in with her and gets a job, which means he is out all day and the girlfriend is lonely.
She asks if he will buy her a pet.
“Sure,” he says.“What sort of pet do you want?”
“I want something typical of Holland,” she replies.
Next day he goes into town and finds a pet shop.
“I want a pet for my girlfriend – typical of Holland.”
The shopkeeper scratches his head and says, “mmmmmm, can’t think what, but I have some lovely French Poodle pups.”
“No thanks,” says the man and leaves.
At next pet shop he asks the same question. The shop owner is just as puzzled and says,
“Can’t think what to suggest – but I have some wonderful German shepherd dog pups.”
“No, thanks,” says our man and leaves somewhat downhearted.
At the next shop, he asks the same question and, again, the shopkeeper is perplexed.
“Something typical of Holland? No, I can’t think of anything – but how about these lovely Brazilian parakeets?”
“No, thanks,” says our man and leaves even more worried than before.
At the last pet shop in Amsterdam, he goes in, asks the same question and gets a similar answer.
“I have some beautiful Irish Setter puppies.”
“No, thanks,” says the man and turns to leave the shop.
He turns to look in the window as he leaves and sees a gorgeous cat sunning itself in the corner.
He dashes back and asks the shopkeeper, “Excuse me, how Dutch is that moggie in the window?” |
