This is what my grandad always used to tell me to explain why dogs always sniff each others' butts.

"There was this big party, see, and all the dogs were invited. They were trying to keep it nice and clean and you know how dogs are, so the one request was that every dog take off his butt-hole and hang it up. And they all did. It was a lovely party and everybody was having a good time, eating and drinking and dancing. Until somebody yelled "FIRE!"

And of course, everybody started to panic, running out the door and grabbing a butthole on the way out 'cause a dog can't get along without a butt-hole, you know!

So ever since that party, all the dogs have been smelling each other's butts, trying to find their own.
