Dog sense

An Alsatian went to a telegram office, took out a blank form and wrote, “Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof.”
The clerk examined the paper and politely told the dog: “There are only nine words here. You could send another ‘Woof’ for the same price.”
“But,” the dog replied, “that would make no sense at all.”

I like this one for its immediate leap into the imaginary. Also, nobody gets hurt, it's quick and easy to tell and it illustrates one the basic points of many of my workshops which is that we all see the world differently and make sense and meaning out of words in different ways.

Woof.
