A Texan Is Walking Around Rural Ireland With A Very Aggressive & Dangerous Looking Pit Bull On A Leash. He passes a ramshackle farm with an old man standing outside of it leaning on the gatepost & smoking a pipe who is looking very curiously at the pit bull. Farmer:- ""Bejaysus, what kind of dog is that??....NEVER seen one like it before!!"" Texan:- ""Well sir, this here is what you call a pit bull terrier one of...if not **the** most aggressive & feared fighting dog in the world, this fella's name is Spike & over the last 5 years I've entered him in 12 fights & he's won every single one in the process, he's won many trophies, hundreds of thousands of dollars in prize money & ten times as much in bets.......Yes sir, Spike here has made me a very rich man, there is not a dog in the USA or the World that can beat him"". Farmer:- ""Hmmm.....not too sure about that now, I have a waterhound locked up in a 100ft X 200ft steel pen out back that I'm pretty sure could rip him to pieces. He's so vicious that I have to throw his food over the side as I'm too scared to go in personally"" Texan confidently says:- ""No **way** could your hound take this dog, let's fight 'em & see, I'll even give you odds if you like....let's say your broken down farm here against my ranch back in the States??"" They shake hands on it & head round the back of the farm & there was the huge pen that the farmer was talking about made of steel eight foot high. The farmer leads them to a loose panel in the fence, pulls it back takes off the leash shoves Spike through & pulls the panel back.......Everything's quiet for about 10 seconds & then snarling, barking, yelping for about 20 seconds followed by Spikes head, limbs & what was left of his torso flying over the side of the fence. Astonished at this, the Texan ran round to the loose panel, pulled it back, looked inside & asked the farmer:- ""Hey man, what kinda dog you say that was??"".......""Ah, it's a waterhound"" said the farmer. ""Waterhound my **ass**.......where I come from, we call those things *alligators*!!"".
