Socrates' Beloved Socrates beloved dog died. He went to his Greek priest and asked if he could arrange a regular church service for his dearly departed. The priest was outraged and berated the parishioner for suggesting his dog receive holy services. Dismayed, Socrates turned away mumbling, Now what am I to do with the five thousand Euros we saved for the serviced?' Good Lord, my son, come back; why didn't you say he was Orthodox?'
