[Dailydrool] The Talking Dog

[Bonnie Bostelman]

A guy is driving around Oklahoma and he 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 Basset Hound sitting there.

"You talk?" he asks.

"Yep," the Basset replies.

"So, what's your story?"

The Basset 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 about 
my gift, and 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 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 damn liar. He never did any of that stuff."
