A man sees a sign in front of a house:
“Talking Dog for Sale – $10.”
Curious, he knocks on the door, and the owner answers.
“Is it true? You have a talking dog for sale?” the man asks.
“Yep,” the owner replies.
“He’s out back, go see for yourself.”
So, the man walks into the backyard and sees a dog sitting there.
“Can you talk?” he asks.
“Sure can,” the dog replies.
The man is stunned.
“Wow! So, what’s your story?”
“Well,” the dog begins, “I discovered I could talk when I was a pup. I wanted to do something good with my talents, so I joined CSIS, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service. They used me for all sorts of top-secret missions. I’d sit in meetings with spies and gather intel—no one ever suspected a dog was eavesdropping. I was their best agent. But after a few years, I got tired of the travel and retired. I moved back here, settled down, and now I volunteer at the local hospital, cheering up sick kids. And that’s pretty much it.”
The man is amazed.
He walks back to the house and asks the owner, “Why on earth would you sell such an incredible dog for just $10?”
The owner shrugs, “Eh, he is lying. He didn’t do any of that stuff.”
