Bernard, who is noted for his gracious manners, was awakened one
morning at 4:44 A.M. by his ringing telephone.

"Your dog's barking, and it's keeping me awake," said an angry
voice.

Bernard thanked the caller and politely asked his name and number
before hanging up.

The next morning at precisely 4:44 A.M., Bernard called his
neighbor back.

"Good morning, Mr. Williams. Just called to say that I don't have
a dog."
