A very proper English gentleman heads North to buy himself a hunting dog from a very much talked about trainer. The trainer shows him a few dogs and one demonstrates an outstanding skill.
"You see Guvna' " says the trainer. "'E points where the games' 'iding and barks 'ow manys' in there.... 'ere I'll show ya".
The trainer gives the command "Point". The dogs sniffs the air, stiffens, tail straight out, lifts a front paw and points his nose to a nearby clump of bushes then barks 4 times.
The trainer claps his hand and yells loudly, sure enough four startled birds flutter up into the sky.
"By Jove, That's remarkable. I must have him" says the gentleman.
After negotiations a deal is struck and the dog accompanies the man back to his country estate.
Eager to show off his new dog's skill the gentleman takes his wife and the dog on a hunt the very next morning.
As they approach a wooded area the gentleman gives the dog the command "Point".
The dog sniffs the air, stiffens, tails straight out, turns in a circle, picks up a stick in its mouth then walks over and begins humping the man's leg for all its worth.
Startled and embarrassed the man kicks the dog away and repeats the command, angrily this time "POINT."
The dog sniffs the air, stiffens, turns in a circle, picks up the stick again and runs over to the wife and repeats the wild humping motion on her leg so hard she topples to the ground.
Screaming and kicking their way back to the manor house the man castigating that "bastard trainer" he swears he will get him for this embarrassment.
After a heated phone call the trainer agrees to travel down to the Gentleman's estate and see if he can sort out the problem.
A day later the man and the trainer accompanied by the wayward dog approach that same wooded area. "Righto give 'im the word Guv' " says the trainer.
The man says "point" and the dog repeats his routine sniffing, stiffening, circling, picks up a stick and wildly humps the man's leg again.
"See, you see? This dog is a menace and you are a fraud. I will have you locked up" said the gentleman kicking his leg in attempt to loosen the dogs gyrating grip.
The trainer let out a roar of laughter and said "Take it easy, take it easy guv' 'ees awright, ya just readin' 'im all wrong"
"All ee's tryin' to tell ya is there's more quail 'iding in them trees than you can poke a fucking stick at"
