International Dog of Mystery
A man driving through the countryside sees a sign in front
of a farmhouse: "Talking Dog for Sale." He rings the
bell, and the owner tells him the dog is in the backyard. When
the man goes around back, he sees a mutt just sitting there.
"You talk?" he asks.
"Yep," the mutt replies.
"So, what's your story?" the man asks.
The mutt looks up and says, "Well, I discovered that I
could talk at a pretty young age. I wanted to help the government,
so I told the CIA about my gift. 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 eight years running."
"Wow," says the man, as intrigued by the story as
by the fact that the dog could talk. "How did you wind
up here?"
"The jetting around really tired me out," the dog
says. "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 was awarded a batch of medals. Had a wife and a mess
of puppies, and now I'm just retired."
The man is amazed. He goes back in and asks the owner what
he wants for the dog.
"Ten dollars," replies the owner.
"That dog is amazing," the man says. "Why on
earth are you selling him so cheap?"
Says the owner, "He's just a big liar. He didn't do any
of that stuff!"
