The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog…
…but the fox got it in the end.
How the lazy dog did it was quite ingenious. Although the hound was lazy, he was not so lazy as he appeared, and in fact far more cunning than anyone gave him credit for (It was rumoured that his bitch of a mother was half-fox herself).
The Setup…
The lazy dog lay prone, as if asleep. Nothing unusual there; he normally slept around that hour of the day, and many other hours too, being lazy. This time, however, he chose to rest by a hollow near the path in the forest clearing, where he knew the quick brown fox usually passed.
The Play…
When the quick brown fox saw the lazy dog, he simply couldn’t resist jumping over him. Oh sure, he did it in order to fulfil usage of all the letters of the alphabet in the shortest possible sentence, but it was more than that. He did it for the thrill of it, for the laugh, for kicks.
Well, the quick brown fox got a kick alright, but not the kind he was expecting.
The Coop de Grace!
When the quick brown fox took his jump over the ‘lazy dog’ he plunged into a hole that the so-called lazy dog had dug earlier.
