The Garda knocks on Paddy's door,and when he opens it his dog starts to bark.
The Garda said "Paddy have you got a licence for that dog" Paddy said " I haven't the money to buy a licence "

The Garda said " look Paddy I'm not unreasonable man, so I will give you till this evening to get a licence"

At six o'clock the Garda is back at Paddy's door ", right Paddy" he said " have got a licence for that animal" to which Paddy properly produces a licence.

"Just one minute the Garda said, this morning you had no money where have you got the money from"

Paddy said " I SOLD THE DOG"
