I don't know why the dog is holding a keyboard, but it goes well with the joke (dog byte/dog bite). (Maybe the dog is looking for help with sending an email. )

the hair of the dog that bit one

- a drink of alcohol that one takes when recovering from a hangover

The man woke up and had the hair of the dog that bit him before he ate breakfast.

Haha! Enjoyable place!

I have one:

Holy cow

its used to express strong feelings of astonishment, pleasure or anger

"Holy cow," the man said when he saw the car that had hit the street lamp.




I don't understand why this cow has holes....
