Miss Parsons, the town spinster, called the sheriff at 2 a.m. to complain about two dogs were copulating on her front lawn. The sheriff suggested she throw cold water on them.
Ten minutes later, she called again to tell him that the water did not work and that the dogs were still copulating. He told her to bang trash can lids together near them.
Fifteen minutes later, she called yet again to complain that the noise failed to work and that the dogs were copulating more vigorously than before.
" Miss Parsons," the sheriff said slowly and deliberately, " why don't you tell the dogs that they're wanted on the phone?"
" Will that stop them from copulating?" she asked.
" Well," he said, "it sure stopped me, ma'am, have a nice night.!"
