Brass Cat
A man walks into a pawn shop, there's a brass statue of a cat.
He asks the shopkeeper, "How much for the statue?" Shopkeeper replies, "$20 for the statue, $20,000 for the story." He says various unkind words, pays $20 and takes his statue.He walks down the street, but he starts hearing a murmuring noise behind him. Something small and subtle, he can't place it, but it's not normal.
He looks back and sees a dozen cats are following him. He walks faster, the noise gets louder, the cats are keeping up with him and there's several dozen of them now. He starts to jog, the noise still gets louder, there's a hundred cats chasing him.
He breaks into a run and heads down towards the city docks. A huge swarm of cats is following him, he runs to the end of the dock, heaves the statue into the river, and the cats all follow it into the river and drown.
Out of breath, he returns to the shop. The shopkeeper looks at him and says, "Now you're ready to pay for the story, aren't you?" Our brave hero replies, "Gasp,... no, just one question.... Do you have a brass statue of a lawyer?"
