A 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.
Just thought you'd like to know.

ReplyDeleteOh you got me with that ending. Doc has been laughing every little while all yesterday because I finally got around to copying that piece John Cleese wrote about England taking America back. He adores Monty Python and certain other English sitcoms like Waiting for God and Keeping up Appearances. Gerry
