I thought this was funny so everyone enjoy. :flowerforyou:


A Kansas farm wife called the local phone company to report her
telephone failed to ring when her friends called - and that on the few
occasions, when it did ring, her dog always moaned right before the phone
rang.

The telephone repairman proceeded to the scene, curious to see
this psychic dog or senile lady. He climbed a telephone pole, hooked in his
test set, and dialed the subscriber's house.

The phone didn't ring right away, but then the dog moaned and the
telephone began to ring.

Climbing down from the pole, the telephone repairman found:

1. The dog was tied to the telephone system's ground wire with a
steel chain and collar.

2. The wire connection to the ground rod was loose.

3. The dog was receiving 90 volts of signaling current when the
number was called.

4. After a couple of jolts, the dog would start moaning and then
urinate.

5. The wet ground would complete the circuit , thus causing the
phone to ring.

Which demonstrates that some problems CAN be fixed by pissing and
moaning.

Thought you'd like to know.
