Especially if it were chocolates and the dog had a sweet tooth

At a post office

Post Master: Now, here’s the number 4768 for your parcel, and I’l put the registration sticker on as well.

Man: Oh, could a bad dog bite a parcel like it bit your leg?

Post Master: Oh, sure it could, especially if it were chocolates and the dog had a sweet tooth. Ha, ha, ha.

Man: Oh.

Post Master: Now, we’ll write the same number 4768 on your registration receipt and you keep this receipt and I’ll keep your parcel.
