“I work with animals (...) I’m a butcher”

Not quite what she was expecting…
Guy: I work with animals every day!
Girl: That’s so sweet! Are you a vet or a pet shop own-
Guy: I’m a butcher.

I went on a date with a girl who said she loved animals.
I said, “I work with animals every day.”
She said, “That’s so sweet. What do you do?”
I replied, “I’m a butcher!”
