A timid man walks in to a bar and asks out loud "Does anyone here own a doberman?". A large man slams his beer down on the counter and bellows "That's my dog...what about it?".

The timid man states "I think my dog killed it."

"What kind of dog do you have, mister?"

"A miniature poodle."

"How on earth did your poodle kill my doberman?"

The timid man whimpers "Your dog choked on mine."

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.
