Give an example of thinking outside the box

I had to bring a (stray) dog to the vet yesterday. When the vet wanted to weight the dog, the dog was having none of it. We couldn't get her to stay on the weighing scales.

"Can you zero the scales" I asked the vet. "Yes" she said.

So I stood on the scales and asked her to zero it. (I won't tell you what it said before she did so :( )

I then got off the scales, picked up the dog, and got back on the scales. The scales then showed the weight of the dog.

I looked at the vet and you could see the penny drop. She said she never thought of doing that before.

Reminds me of the old Tommy Cooper joke:
A man takes his Rottweiler to the vet. "My dog's cross-eyed, is there
anything you can do for him? " "Well," says the vet, "let's have a look at
him" So he picks the dog up and examines his eyes, then checks his teeth.
Finally, he says "I'm going to have to put him down."
"What? Because he's cross-eyed? "
"No, because he's really heavy"

Or the old Peter Sellers Joke.

Man walks into a bar, and goes up to a man sitting on at the bar with a dog beside him.

First man "does your dog bite?"
Man at bar "No."
First man then bends down to pet dog, and gets his hand savaged.

First man "I thought your dog doesn't bite!"
Man at bar (shrugging sholders gallic style) "That is not my dog"
