Subject: Phone problem
True Telephone Story
An elderly lady with a dog called Verizon to say that her telephone
failed to ring when her friends called; and that on the few occasions
when it did
ring her dog always barked before the phone rang. The telephone repairman
proceeded to the scene, curious to see this psychic dog or senile
elderly lady.
He climbed a nearby telephone pole, hooked in his test set, and dialed
the subscriber's house.The phone didn't ring but the dog barked loudly and
then the telephone did ring.
Climbing down from the pole, the telephone repairman found:
1© The dog was tied to the telephone system's ground post via an iron
chain and collar.
2© The dog was receiving 90 volts of signaling current when the phone
number was called.
3© After several such jolts, the dog would start barking and urinate on
the ground.
4© The wet ground would complete the circuit and the phone would ring.
Which shows you that some problems can be fixed by just pissing on them
