Why did I not see that one coming? I'll be telling that one here.

Ok, this is pretty lame compared to Ken's masterpieces of late, but here
goes:

This guy 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 back yard.  The guy goes into
the
back yard and sees a mutt sitting there.
"You talk?" he asks.
"Yep," the mutt replies.
"So, what's your story?"

The mutt looks up and says "Well, I discovered this gift pretty young and I
wanted to help the government, so I told the CIA about my gift, and in no
time
they had me jetting from country to country, sitting in rooms with spies and
world leaders, cause no one figured a dog would be eavesdropping.  I was one
of
their most valuable spies eight years running.  The jetting around really
tired
me out, and 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, 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.
The owner says "Ten dollars."
The guy says he'll buy him but asks the owner,
"This dog is amazing.  Why on earth are you selling him?"
The owner replies, "He's such a liar."
