Did you know that it was Tell a Joke Day yesterday? On August 16th? So, in honor of the day, here's a movie-related joke...

A man goes to see a movie. As he sits down to watch the film, his eyes get accustomed to the dark. He notices a dog sitting on the seat beside him. He is somewhat bemused but decides to ignore the dog.

As the film progresses he notices that the dog is reacting appropriately to each scene. During the comedic moments, the dog wags his tail and barks. During the sad parts, he drops his ears and whimpers. During violent section, he growls and bares his teeth. At the end of the film, the audience applauds and the dog gets up on all paws and barks and wags his tail.

The man turns to a lady who appears to be the dog's owner and says, "Wow, that was a great film, and what an intelligent dog you have there. Frankly, I'm amazed."

"So am I," replies the owner. "He thought the book was terrible."
