A man is sitting in a plane which is about to take off, when another man with a dog occupies the empty seats alongside. The dog sits in the middle with a seat all to himself. The first man is looking quizzically at the dog when the second man explains that they work for the airline.
The dog handler says to the first man, “Don’t mind Rover, he is a sniffer dog, the best there is. I’ll show you once we get airborne and I set him to work.” Eventually, the plane takes off and when it levels out, the handler says to the first man, “Watch this.”
He tells the dog, “Rover, search.” The dog jumps down, walks along the aisle to the back of the plane and sits next to a woman for a few seconds. It then returns to its seat and puts one paw on the handler’s arm. He says, “Good boy,” and turns to the first man and says, “That woman is in possession of marijuana, so I’m making a note of this and the seat number for the police who will apprehend her on arrival.” “Fantastic!” replies the first man.
Once again, the man says to the dog, “Rover, search.” This time he sends the dog down to the front of the plane. The dog sniffs about, sits down beside a man for a few seconds, returns to its seat, and places both paws on the handler’s arm. He says, “Good boy,” and turns to the first man and says, “That man is carrying cocaine, so again, I’m making a note of this and the seat number.” “That’s marvelous, I’ve never seen anything like it!” says the first man.
Once again, he sends the dog to search the aisles. The dog goes up and down the plane and after a while sits down next to someone, and then comes racing back, jumps up onto the seat, and this time craps all over the place. The first man is surprised and disgusted by this and asks, “What the bloody hell is going on?”
The handler replies, “Oh god, he’s just found a bomb!”
