Old shaggy dog story:man and dog in a bar – bets that his dog can talk. Bet accepted, man asks dog,“what’s on top of a house?” “ROOF”“whats sndpaper like? ""RUFF"“whose the greatest baseball hitter?” “RUTH”Disgusted bar patrons turn their backs and leave. Dog turns to the man and says “WAS IT LOU GHERIG?”
(wonders if certain jokes were being told with the “BARK!”s in this cartoon; wonders if they were part of a language that the “Jon” mentioned in the cartoon could not understand)

Suddenly, I’m reminded of SpongeBob;
Random Fish: Hey, hey, funny guy! I’ve got a joke for you! What smells rotten and puts people to sleep?!
SpongeBob: Uh, noxious gas?
Random Fish: No! Your act!
