Talking Dog For Sale

[Guest guest]

A guy sees a sign in front of a house:

" Talking Dog for Sale. "

He rings the bell and the owner tells him the dog is in the backyard. The guy

goes into the backyard and

sees a black mutt just sitting there.

" You talk? " he asks.

" Sure do. " the dog replies.

" So, what's your story? "

The dog looks up and says, " Well, I discovered my gift of talking pretty young

and I wanted to help the

government, so I told the CIA about my gift, and in no time they had me jetting

from country to country,

sitting in rooms with spies and world leaders, because no one figured a dog

would be eavesdropping.

I was one of their most valuable spies eight years running.

" The jetting around really tired me out, and I knew I wasn't getting any younger

and I wanted to settle

down. So I signed up for a job at the airport to do some undercover security

work, mostly wandering near

suspicious characters and listening in. I uncovered some incredible dealings

there and was awarded a

batch of medals.

" Had a wife, a mess of puppies, and now I'm just retired. "

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

The owner says, " Ten dollars. "

The guy says, " This dog is amazing. Why on earth are you selling him so cheap? "

" Cause he's a liar. He didn't do any of that stuff. "

little of each other everywhere. " ~

entire evening sky would be in the palm of my hand. "
