>An avid duck hunter was in the market for a new
>bird dog. His search ended when he found a dog that could
>actually walk on water to retrieve a duck. Shocked by his find,
>he was sure none of his friends would ever believe him.
>
>He decided to try to break the news to a friend of his, a
>pessimist by nature, and invited him to hunt with him and his
>new dog.
>
>As they waited by the shore, a flock of ducks flew by. they
>fired, and a duck fell. The dog responded and jumped into the
>water. The dog, however, did not sink but instead walked
>across the water to retrieve the bird, never getting more than
>his paws wet. This continued all day long; each time a duck
>fell, the dog walked across the surface of the water to retrieve
>it.
>
>The pessimist watched carefully, saw everything, but did not
>say a single word.
>
>On the drive home the hunter asked his friend, "Did you notice
>anything unusual about my new dog?"
>
>"I sure did," responded the pessimist. "He can't swim."
