A Dogfight

　　Uncle Sam and Osama decided to settle the whole war with a dogfight. They would each have 5 years to breed the best fighting dog and whoevers dog won would dominate the world. Osama found the meanest Doberman breed in the world and bred them with the meanest wolves. They selected only the biggest and strongest puppy from each litter. After 5 years, they came up with the biggest, meanest dog ever. When the day came for the big dogfight, Uncle Sam showed up with a strange looking animal. It was a 9-foot long Dachshund. When the cages were opened up, the Dachshund came out of its cage and slowly waddled over toward Osamas dog. Osamas dog snarled and leaped out of its cage and charged the American dog--but when it got close to the American dog, the Dachshund opened its mouth and ate Osamas dog whole. Osama said, We dont understand how this could have happened, we had our best people working for 5 years with the meanest dogs and the meanest wolves. Uncle Sam said, Thats nothing, we had our best plastic surgeons working for 5 years to make that alligator look like a weenie dog.

　　美國人和阿富汗人決定進行一場狗狗大戰。他們有五年的時間來培育出最好的狗并且誰的狗贏了誰就統治世界。阿富汗人找來世界上最好的杜賓犬與最兇狠的狼雜交。他們只從每窩中選最大最強壯幼犬。五年后，養出了最大最兇猛的狗。比賽的日子到了，美國人牽出一只奇怪的動物。這是一個九尺長的德國獵犬。籠子門一開，德國獵犬慢悠悠地爬向阿富汗的狗，阿富汗狗大吼一聲竄出籠子直撲美國狗，但剛靠近，德國獵犬張開嘴把它整個吞了下去。阿富汗人說：我們不理解這是為什么，我們用最好的人五年雜交最兇猛的狗和狼。美國人說：沒用的，我們讓最好的外科整形醫生工作五年讓鱷魚看起來像小狗。
