A POODLE AND A COLLIE are walking down the street when the poodle suddenly confides to his friend. “My life is a mess,” he says. “My owner is mean, my girlfriend is having an affair with a German shepherd, and I’m as nervous as a hamster.”

“Why don’t you go see a psychiatri­st,” suggests the collie. “I can’t,” says the poodle. “I’m not allowed on the couch.”

“Oh, it was perfect,” the defector says. “I could not complain.”

“What about your job?”

“Oh, my old job was perfect. I could not complain.”

“And the food?”

“Oh, the food was perfect. I could not complain.”

“So if everything was perfect in North Korea, why did you move?”

The man says, “Here I can complain.”
