Yee Haw, 'Doc!

Two stories, neither of them mine.

Yee Haw!

My wife was shopping the other day. She saw a lady in the store with her very little daughter sitting in the shopping basket. The little girl wouldn't stop asking questions.

"Mom, are we going to Walmart after this?"
"Yes, sweetheart."
"Yee Haw!"

"Mom, what's that over there?"
"That's where they sell pet toys."
"Yee Haw!"

"Mom, can you push the cart faster?"
"No, dear."
"Yee Haw!"

Every answer got a "Yee Haw!" response. I'm not sure if she understood the answers, but she sure seemed to like asking the questions.

Is There A Doctor In The Backyard?

My nephew (8 years old) got a new dog. It was important to him that he be able to nickname the dog "Doc".

The dog is a purebred bloodhound, so they went to register him. Nephew had decided on "Murdock" as the dog's name. This allowed the all-important nickname to be valid. Unfortunately, "Murdock" had already been registered.

Now, they had a problem. They had to come up with a new name for the dog on the spot. And the nickname had to still be valid. What to do?

"Doc Holiday" was suggested and rejected because it was already registered. "Doc" itself was also attempted, but that had been registered too.

After many attempts, they finally resorted to making a name up. The dog's name is "Doctor Holloway". He's got a legit registered name, and the "Doc" nickname still worked.

Yee Haw!
