How abut the guy standing on the street corner jumoing up and down on a manhole cover shouting, a the top of his lungs, "45! 45! 45! 45! … "

A fellow comes along and asks the guy why he’s jumping up and down yelling “45!” all the time. The guy says, “Want to see?”

“Sure,” the fellow replies. So the guy opens up the manhole and when the fellow bends over to look in, the guys kicks him in the ass and into the manhole. He replaces the cover and starts jumping up and down shouting, "“46! 46! 46! 46! …”

I think something got lost in the translation here…

While this version is still funny, it is only a simple joke, the punchline being that the dog can actually speak intelligent english, even though the bartender misinterprets the answers the dog had given to the three questions as only barking. OK, ha ha.

But the original joke is much funnier.

The first question is the texture of sandpaper: “Rough.” The second question is what’s on the top of a house: “Roof.” The third question is who is the greatest baseball player of all time, and the dog answers “Ruth.”  
After the bartender then kicks them out, the dog spouts the punchline:  
“You think I should have said Di Maggio?”

Not only does it have the same joke your version, but the second level of humor that the dog believes he was kicked out for disagreeing with the bartender’s view of baseball history.  
I know deconstructing a joke always takes away the humor, but there ya have it.  
To add in another (lame joke):  
Q. Why are farmers so repected?  
A. They are always outstanding in their field!
