The Sniffer

[gossy]

A man had just settled into his seat next to the window

on the plane when another man sat down in the aisle seat and

put his black Labrador Retriever in the middle seat next to

the man.

The first man looked very quizzically at the dog and

asked why the dog was allowed on the plane.

The second man explained that he was from the

Commonwealth Police Drug Department and that the dog was a

'sniffing dog'.

'His name is Sniffer and he's the best there is.

I'll show you once we get airborne, when I put him to

work.'

The plane took off , and once it has levelled out, the

Policeman said, 'Watch this.'

He told Sniffer to 'search'.

Sniffer jumped down, walked along the aisle, and finally

sat very purposefully next to a woman for several seconds.

Sniffer then returned to his seat and put one paw on the

policeman's arm.

The Policeman said, 'Good boy', and he turned to

the man and said, 'That woman is in possession of

marijuana,

I'm making a note of her seat number and the

authorities will apprehend her when we land.

'Gee, that's pretty good,' replied the first

man.

Once again, the Policeman sent Sniffer to search the

aisles.

The Lab sniffed about, sat down beside a man for a few

seconds, returned to its seat, and this time he placed two

paws on the agent's arm.

The Policeman said, 'That man is carrying cocaine, so

again,

I'm making a note of his seat number for the

police.'

'I like it!' said his seat mate.

The Policeman then told Sniffer to 'search'

again.

Sniffer walked up and down the aisles for a little while,

sat down for a moment, and then came racing back to the

agent, jumped into the middle seat and proceeded to mess all

over the place.

The first man was really disgusted by this behaviour and

couldn't figure out how or why a well-trained dog would

behave like that, so he asked the Policeman, 'What's

going on?'

The Policeman nervously replied, 'He's just found

a bom-b.'
