At the height of the arms race, the Americans and Russians realized that if
they continued in the usual manner they were going to blow up the whole
world. One day they sat down and decided to settle the whole dispute with
one dog fight. They'd have five years to breed the best fighting dog in the
world and which ever side's dog won would be entitled to dominate the world.
The losing side would have to lay down its arms.
The Russians found the biggest meanest Doberman and Rottweiler in the world
and bred them with the biggest meanest Siberian wolves. They selected only
the biggest and strongest puppy from each litter, killed his siblings, and
gave him all the milk. They used steroids and trainers and after five years
came up with the biggest meanest dog the world had ever seen. Its cage
needed steel bars that were five inches thick and nobody could get near it.
When the day came for the dog fight, the Americans showed up with a strange
animal. It was a nine foot long Dachshund. Everyone felt sorry for the
Americans because they knew there was no way that this dog could possibly
last ten seconds with the Russian dog. When the cages were opened up, the
Dachshund came out of it's cage and slowly waddled over towards the Russian
dog. The Russian dog snarled and leaped out of it's cage and charged the
American dachshund. But, when it got close enough to bite the Dachshund's
neck, the Dachshund opened it's mouth and consumed the Russian dog in one
bite. There was nothing left at all of the Russian dog.
The Russians came up to the Americans shaking their heads in disbelief. "We
don't understand how this could have happened. We had our best people
working for five years with the meanest Dobermans and Rottweilers in the
world and the biggest meanest Siberian wolves."
"That's nothing," an American replied. "We had our best plastic surgeons
working for five years to make an alligator look like a Dachshund."
