This is one my dad sprung on me when I was a kid. For this one, you've got to tell it completely deadpan. Like, this is totally serious, otherwise it won't work. Tried this out a couple of months ago at the lunch table at work. Had them the whole time until the punchline...they were horrified. When I got to the punchline, they all lost it.
"I was cleaning some grease of off some car parts this weekend and had a little gasoline in a cup sitting on the floor of the garage. My dog walks in and I hear the sound of the lapping up of water. I quickly realized that my dog was drinking the gasoline!
I get up to get the dog and he just takes off like a bat out of hell. He runs around the yard and I just can't catch him. I'm about ready to give up from exhaustion when he keels over, like he's dead. I quickly rushed him to the vet.
The vet told me it was fine...he'd just run out of gas."
