"Abbott and Costello talk about Lou's new dog"
(From Abbott and Costello's radio show, December 30, 1943)

Lou Costello: Oh, Abbott, the worst thing just happened to me!

Bud Abbott: No!

Lou Costello: Yeah, Mrs. Niles gave me a dog for a Christmas present, and the dog just took a great big bite out of me!

Bud Abbott: Where did he bite you?

Lou Costello: Well, if I'd have been wearing a license plate, he'd have gotten the last three numbers.

Bud Abbott: Where did this happen?

Lou Costello: Well, let me see, where did this happen -- in a crowded streetcar. It was the first time I ever gave my seat to a dog.

Bud Abbott: Well, never mind that. What kind of a dog did Mrs. Niles give you?

Lou Costello: Do you remember that famous dog, Strongheart?

Bud Abbott: Yes, I remember Strongheart?

Lou Costello: Well, this is his brother -- Weak Stomach.

Bud Abbott: Listen, I'm not talking about that. What is the dog's breed?

Lou Costello: What does he breed? He breeds through his nose, like you and me!

Bud Abbott: No, no, no, you dummy, what kind of dog is he? Spitz?

Lou Costello: No, but he drools a little.

Bud Abbott: Look, there are different types of dogs, such as Setters, and Pointers, …

Lou Costello: That's it, Abbott! He's a Setter-Pointer!

Bud Abbott: A Setter-Pointer?

Lou Costello: Yeah, he sets all day and points at the icebox!

(Editor's note: we now call an 'icebox' a 'refrigerator')
