A man is driving through the country and as he passes a farmhouse he sees a sign in the yard that says
"TALKING DOG FOR SALE"
Curious, he stops. He approaches the farmer in the yard and asks about the dog, and he directed to the barn.
He walks into the barn wondering why he is even wasting his time with such foolishness. He sees a common looking mutt laying on the ground. The dog looks up and says "Hello, how are you?"
The man is astounded. He starts to have a conversation with the dog.
"When did you learn to talk, and how?"
"Well, when I was just a pup, I would sleep on the floor in front of my masters TV set. After awhile I started to imitate what I heard on television. And after my master discovered I had a pretty good vocabulary he started leasing me out to the police department. For years I went out on underground drug stings. After word got out, the FBI used me to bust criminals, and then I worked for the CIA. All in all I had a pretty fabulous career, but I am tired now and I just want to enjoy life."
The man is amazed at what he has heard, and he rushes back to the farmer and asks how much for the dog.
"Ahh, how bout 20 bucks?"
"TWENTY DOLLARS FOR A TALKING DOG? Why so cheap?" he asks as he pulls out his wallet.
"Oh, that old mutt nothing but a big ol' liar. He didn't do any of that stuff he says he did"
