During a recent Saturday afternoon drive around Greene County I happeneddown a back road near the 'Coon River.  I saw a sign in front of a brokendown aging farmhouse that read, "Talking Dog for Sale."Well, that made me curious so I stopped to see what the deal was. In theyard there is a nice looking Labrador retriever sitting."You talk?" I asked."Yep," the Lab replies.Well  after I got over the shock of hearing a dog talk, I asked "So, what'syour story?""Ah shucks there ain't much to tell. Is that a screwdriver antenna on yourtruck out there?""How did you know that," I asked?The Lab looks up and says, "Well, I'm  a ham radio operator. I got myticket when I was a  young pup.  In no time at all I had my 5-bandDXCC in Phone and CW. The CIA heard about me and asked me  to dospy work for them. I would hang around  the communications centers andwith my keen hearing could copy the transmissions.  Because no onefigured a dog would be eavesdropping, I was one of their most valuablespies for eight years. Copying high speed CW all  day really tired meand I knew I wasn't getting  any younger.  So, I decided to settledown.  I retired  from the CIA (8 dog years is 56 CIA years) and joineda ham radio club. In fact I won first place in the Iowa QSO Partytwo years in a row.  Then I had a mess of puppies and got away from HamRadio for a while. I sure miss my radio. Why don't you buy me and I'llbe your CW operator in the next DX 'test.."I said "let me see what I can do."I went back in and asked the owner what he wanted for the dog."Ten dollars," the old farmer says."Ten dollars?  This dog is amazing!  Why on earth are you selling him socheap?""Because he's a liar. He never did any of  that stuff.  He's just a No CodeExtra."
