TELEPHONE CALLS
8/3/2006 10:10:34 PM
South  Carolina 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 via 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.

Oh !  Poor doggie.  I think this was a true happening also.  glad they got it fixed.

The fixing some problems part is funny. They say the loudest  squeek gets oiled the most.

Your friend.....Pat
