Who doesn’t like a little levity?  I read a joke last week that I thought I would share.

The Talking Dog

A guy is driving around the back woods of Tennessee and sees a sign in front of a broken down shanty-style house: “Talking Dog For Sale”.  He rings the bell and the owner appears and tells him the dog is in the backyard.  The guy goes into the backyard and sees a nice looking Labrador retriever sitting there.

“You talk?” he asks.  “Yep,” the dog replies.

After the guy recovers from the shock of hearing a dog talk, he says “So, what’s your story?”

The dog looks up and says, “Well,I discovered that I could talk when I was pretty young.  I signed up for a job at the airport  to do some undercover security, wandering near suspicious characters and listening in.   I uncovered some incredible dealings and was awarded several medals.  I wanted to help America, so I interviewed with the CIA.  In no time at all they had me traveling around the world and hanging out with spies and world leaders.  After all, no one figured a dog could eavesdrop.  I proved to be one of the most valuable spies for the decade.  But the jetting around really tired me out, and I was not getting any younger.  So, I decided to settle down.   I got married and had a mess of puppies.  Now I’m just retired.”

The guy is amazed.  He goes back in and asks the owner what he wants for the dog.

“Ten bucks, ” the owner says.

“This dog is amazing!  Why on earth are you selling him for just ten dollars?”

“Because he is liar!  He never did any of that stuff!”
