"why bark myself when I can buy a dog to do it" (I know he got it all a bit mixed up btw).
He came home from work early (7pm!!!) last night so I could go out with a friend. Upon entering the house he asked me what he was having for his dinner. I asked him if he knew where the oven was. He said "why bark myself when I can buy a dog to do it". He claims it was a joke.
