Last week , Gordon Brown and Alistair Darling thought up a cunning plan to get the rural vote in the West Country. So they put on brown sports jackets, corduroy trousers and cloth caps , bought a sheepdog and went to to the lounge bar of a Dorset country pub, knowing a photographer would spot them and put their picture in all the papers . Their "country look" would then gain them millions of rural votes!

As they sat in the lounge supping their pints of real ale , with the sheepdog lying at their feet, a local came in from the bar , lifted the tail of the dog, and walked out without a word.

Ten minutes later , another local did the same. Lifted the dog's tail, and left without saying anything !

This carried on for 2 or 3 hours. Several locals came in from the bar, one at a time, lifted the tail of the dog without a word, and went back to the bar.

In the end, Darling could not help his curiosity, any longer . So he asked the barman................................ "Is that a local country custom,around here, to lift the tail of a dog, without uttering a word, and then leave ? "

"Oh No ! " said the barman. "It was just that a man came in here not long after you came in . Then he went into the bar and told all the locals............. There's a sheepdog in the lounge with two arseholes !!!"
