Good Excuse

Marco has a date with a beautiful girl who lives in the penthouse apartment of a forty story building. She tells him she'll be a little late, and that the doorman will let him in, and that he should relax and play with her dog, Joey.

He gets to the apartment and Joey is a huge great Dane. Marco keeps throwing a tennis ball so Joey can fetch it. One time he tosses the ball out on the balcony and it bounces over the ledge.

Joey leaps over the side after it, and disappears. Just then, the girl walks in. Marco says, 'Honey, have you noticed your dog has been acting depressed lately?'
