Thread: Thought you would like to know........

This is for the ones who enjoy vent/whine forums.





A Missouri farm wife called the local phone company to
report her telephone failed to ring when her friends
called - and that on the few occasions, when it did ring,
her dog always moaned right before the phone rang.

The telephone repairman proceeded to the scene, curious to
see this psychic dog or senile lady. He climbed a telephone
pole, hooked in his test set, and dialed the
subscriber's house.

The phone didn't ring right away, but then the dog
moaned and the telephone began to ring.

Climbing down from the pole, the telephone repairman
found:

1. The dog was tied to the telephone system's ground
wire with a steel chain and collar.

2. The wire connection to the ground rod was loose.

3. The dog was receiving 90 volts of signaling current
when the number was called.

4. After a couple of jolts, the dog would start moaning
and then urinate.

5. The wet ground would complete the circuit, thus causing
the phone to ring.

Which demonstrates that some problems CAN be fixed by
pissing and moaning.

Thought you'd like to know.
