A woman brought a litter of dalmatian puppies
to the veterinary clinic for inoculations and worming.
As the look-alike pups squirmed over and under one
another in their box, the vet realized it would be
difficult
to tell the treated ones from the rest. He turned on
the water faucet, wet his fingers, and moistened each
dog's head when he had finished their shots.
After the fourth puppy, he noticed the hitherto
talkative client had grown silent. As he sprinkled the
last pup's head, the woman leaned forward and
whispered, "I didn't know they had to be baptized!"
