Talking Dog
A man saw 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 when I was a
puppy 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 for years."
"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 I 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, "Twenty dollars."
The guy says, "This dog is amazing. Why on earth are you selling him so cheap?"
" 'cos he's a liar. He didn't do any of that stuff."
