auxilary Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 In DC, a 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 backyard. The guy goes into the backyard and sees a black mutt just sitting there. "You talk?" he asks. "Sure do," the dog replies. "So, what's your story?" The dog looks up and says, "Well, I discovered my gift of talking 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, because 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, "This dog is amazing. Why on earth are you selling him so cheap?" "Cause he's a liar. He didn't do any of that shlt." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A. G. Olphart Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 Slight correction for z-rex: most government employees are dead honest... it's the elected officials and their appointees we've got to watch. I personally think that the honesty and the flywheel effect (governmental continuity) of the Federal bureaucracy are part of the reason President Bush wants to privatize it. More plums for distribution to contributing corporations. More jobs for Halliburton to bid. (Wait a minute, did I say 'bid'... sorry). "An honest politician is one who stays bought" We have the best government money can buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z-REX Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 a.g..... point well stated. you have to love how those in power can forget who got them there in the first place... to a disappointing number of them the public they're sworn to serve ends up being no more than their transit line. then they get the honor of being able to say screw the public... now what's in it for me?
