A man went to visit a friend and was amazed to find him playing chess with his dog. He watched the game in astonishment for a while. "I can hardly believe my eyes!" he exclaimed. "That's the smartest dog I've ever seen."

"Nah, he's not so smart," the friend replied. "I've beaten him three games out of five."

I wonder if you could teach a real dog to play chess. That would be hardcore.

yeah, that would be pretty impressive. I've heard that joke before. I just can't remember where.
