Dallas Cowboy Humor
A man walks into a bar with his dog and asks the bartender if they can watch the Cowboy game. The bartender agrees and the man sits down to watch the game. The Cowboys drive down to the six yard line and, of course, end up settling for a field goal. The dog goes nuts. It runs all around the bar barking and howling. The bartender says, "Hey, what does he do when they score a touchdown?" The man answers, "I don't know. I've only had him for two years."
