<DIV>Dog Talk<BR>=========<BR><BR>A guy is driving around the back woods of
Tennessee and he<BR>sees a sign in front of a broken down shanty-style
house:<BR>"Talking Dog For Sale."<BR><BR>He rings the bell and the owner appears
and tells him the dog<BR>is in the backyard. The guy goes into the backyard and
sees a<BR>nice looking Labrador Retriever sitting there.<BR><BR>"You talk?" he
asks.<BR><BR>"Yep," the Lab replies.<BR><BR>After the guy recovers from the
shock of hearing a dog speak,<BR>he says, "So, what's your story?"<BR><BR>The
Lab looks up and says, "Well, I discovered that I could<BR>talk when I was
pretty young. I wanted to help the government,<BR>so I told them. In no time at
all they had me jetting from<BR>country to country, sitting in rooms with spies
and world<BR>leaders, because no one figured a dog would be eavesdropping.<BR>I
was one of their most valuable spies for eight years<BR>running.<BR><BR>"But the
jetting around really tired me out, and I knew I<BR>wasn't getting any younger
so I decided to settle down. I<BR>signed up for a job at the airport to do some
undercover<BR>security, wandering near suspicious characters and
listening<BR>in.<BR><BR>"I uncovered some incredible stuff and was awarded a
bunch of<BR>medals. I got married, had a mess of puppies, and now I'm
just<BR>retired."<BR><BR>The guy is amazed. He goes back in and asks the owner
what he<BR>wants for the dog.<BR><BR>"Ten dollars," the guy says.<BR><BR>"Ten
dollars?! This dog is amazing! Why on earth are you<BR>selling him so
cheap?"<BR><BR>"Because he's a liar. He never did any of that
stuff."<BR></DIV></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
