Laura used to work in a bookstore. They probably just added the coffee stand

Still looks like a bookstore to me. She’s holding a book, and that is a cash register on the counter.

Everybody who has a dog calls him “Rover”, “Rex”, “Fido” or “Spot”. I named my dog “Sex”.
Now, Sex has been very embarrassing to me. When I went to get his license, I told the clerk I would like to have a license for Sex. He said, “Id like to have one too.” Then I said, “But this is a dog.” He said I didn’t care what she looked like. Then I said, “You don’t understand, I’ve had Sex since I was 9 years old.” He said I must have been quite a kid.
When I got married and went on my honeymoon, I took the dog with me. I told the hotel clerk that I wanted a room for my wife and me and a special room for Sex. He said that every room in the place was for sex. I said, “You don’t understand, Sex keeps me awake at night.” The Clerk said “Me too.”
One day I entered Sex in a contest but before the competition began, the dog ran away. Another contestant asked me why I was just standing there looking around. I told him I had planned to have Sex entered in the contest. He told me that I should have sold tickets. “But you don’t understand”, I said, “I had hoped to have Sex on television.” He called me a show-off.
When my wife and I separated, we went to court to file for custody of the dog. I said, “Your Honour, I had Sex before I got married.” The judge said “Me too.” Then I told him that after I was married, Sex had left me. He said, “Me too.”
Last night Sex ran off again. I spent hours looking around town for him. A cop came over to me and asked “What are you doing in this alley at 4 in the morning?” I said, “I’m looking for Sex…”
Well now I have been thrown in jail, been divorced and had more damn troubles with that dog than I ever foresaw. Why just the other day when I went for my first session with my psychiatrist, she asked me, “what seems to be the trouble?” I replied, “Sex has been my best friend all of my life but now it has left me forever. I couldn’t live any longer. So lonely.” The doctor said, “look mister you should understand sex isn’t a man’s best friend. So get yourself a dog.”

Ought to name the dog “Stay.” Come here, Stay! Come on, Stay!

My friends’ kid named their dog “Arf” so now whenever the dad calls the dog into the house, it looks like he’s barking too.

I’m pretty sure it just means that the dad was embarrassed by such a “silly” name.

butterscotch is not a manly name, Men like to have a dog with a manly name. Even if its a female, they don’t like her to have a sugary sweet name.

That’s ‘cause people usually shorten a name and it’d be called “Butt.”

@Trapper John, see Dypak’s comment. I guess that’s supposed to explain the joke. Still doesn’t seem funny.
