Lost the Point.

Jones, who appreciates a joke, but, like many others, cannot repeat one with any degree of success, heard for the first time the joke about the dog being the most musical of animals, “because he wears a brass band round his neck,” and determined to spring it on the first party of friends to which he was invited. The time came, and he electrified his victims With the exclamation, “I say, I’ve a really good one!” He asked, “Why is a deg the most musical of animals?” They gave it up. "Because,” announced Jones, triumphantly, “ho wears, a brass collar round his neck."
