talking dog

[bobt]

A guy is driving around the back woods of Tennessee and he 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 Lab replies.

After the guy recovers from the shock of hearing a dog talk, he

says "So, what's your story?"

The Lab looks up and says, "Well, I discovered that I could talk

when I was pretty young. I wanted to help the government, so I

told the CIA and they had me sworn into the toughest branch of the

armed services ... the United States Marines ... you know one of

their nicknames is "The Devil Dogs".

In no time at all 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 for

eight years running, but the jetting around really tired me out and I

knew I wasn't getting any younger.

So, I decided to settle down. I retired from the Corps (8 dog years

is 56 Corps years) and 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 a batch of

medals.

I got married, had 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.

 

"Ten dollars," the guy says.

 

"Ten dollars? This dog is amazing! Why on earth are you selling him

so cheap?"

 

"Because he's a liar. He never did any of that stuff. He was in the

Navy!"
