An eight-year-old boy went into a grocery store and picked out a large box
of laundry detergent. The grocer walked over and asked the boy if he had a lot
of laundry to do. "Oh, no laundry," the boy said, "I'm going to wash my dog."
"But you shouldn't use this to wash your dog," said the grocer. "It's very
powerful and if you wash your dog in this, he'll get sick. In fact, it might
even kill him." But the boy was not to be stopped and carried the detergent to
the counter and paid for it. A week later, the boy was back in the store to buy
some candy. The grocer asked the boy how his dog was doing. "Oh, he died," the
boy said. The grocer said he was sorry, but added, "I tried to tell you not to
use that detergent on your dog." "Well, the boy replied, "I don't think it was
the detergent that killed him." "Oh? What was it then?" "I think it was the spin
cycle!"
