It was a nice weekend, so John
spent the morning driving around
looking for yard sales. After just
a few minutes looking, he spots
a sign posted in someone's yard
that reads "Talking Dog For Sale."
Interested in what this might
actually be, John knocks on the
door. The owner calmly tells him
the dog is in the backyard. So he
goes back there, and sees a
German Shepherd sitting there
next to a small doghouse.
"You talk?" John asks.
"Yep," the Lab replies. Much to
John's surprise!
"Umm, yeah... so, what's the deal.
How can you talk? What's your
story?"
The Golden Retriever looks
upward with the most sincere
eyes and says, "Well, I
discovered that I could talk when
I was pretty young, and 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 wanted to
settle down. 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 and was
awarded a batch of medals. I got
married, had a mess of puppies,
and now I'm just retired."
John is amazed. He goes back in
and asks the owner what he
wants for the dog.
"Ten dollars."
The guy says, "This dog is
amazing. Why on earth are you
selling him so cheap?"
"Because he's a liar. He didn't do
any of that shxt."
