I was driving down the street in Ikeja - Lagos, having just finished answering a call on my mobile phone, when a Police Officer suddenly jumped in front of the car, opened the passenger door, entered and jammed it. As usual he wanted to collect "something"(bribe) from me...Then suddenly he saw the big black Rothweiler dog- Jackie - at the back seat, with tongue stuck out staring fiercely at him.
POLICEMAN: [shaking] Ah! You carry dog?
ME: [I bone my face - kept a straight face] Yes I'm carrying a Dog. Is that an offense?
