Paul got off the elevator on the 40th floor and nervously
knocked on his blind date's door. She opened it and was as
beautiful and charming as everyone had said.
"I'll be ready in a few minutes," she said. "Why don't you play
with my dog Rollo while you are waiting? He does wonderful tricks.
He rolls over, shakes hands and sits up, and if you make a hoop
with your arms, he'll jump through."
The dog followed Paul onto the balcony and started rolling over.
Paul made a hoop with his arms and Rollo jumped through and over
the rail of the balcony. Just then, Paul's date walked out.
"Isn't Rollo the cutest, happiest dog you've ever seen?" she
gushed.
Paul panicked. "To tell the truth," he said, "he seemed a little
depressed to me."
