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 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, 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 he'll buy him but asks the
owner, "This dog is amazing. Why on earth are you selling him?"

The owner replies, "Because he's such a liar."
