一位男士开车到了乡下，看到一座房子前有这样一则标语： "出售会说话的狗。” 于是，他按响了门铃，房主告诉他那只狗在后院。他来到后院，看到一只拉布拉多猎犬蹲坐在那儿。 “你会说话?"他问道。 "是的。'’猎犬回答说。 “那么，给我讲讲你的身世吧。” 那只狗抬头看了看，说道："我在很小的时候就发现自己会说话。我想为政府做点事，就把我的天分告诉了中央情报局。没多久，我就开始乘坐喷气式飞机从一个国家飞到另一个国家，同特工和各国领导人坐在同一间屋子里，没人会想到一只狗能偷听。整整八年来，我是他们最为得力的间谍。 "不过这样飞来飞去的生活让我筋疲力尽。我意识到自己已经不再年轻，便决定安顿下来。于是，我和机场签订协议，从事一些秘密的安全防护工作，主要是在可疑人员身边偷听他们谈话。 "在揭穿了一系列重大非法交易之后，我获得了大批奖章。我结了婚，生了一群孩子，最近刚刚退休。" 男士非常惊奇。他又回到主人那里，问他这只狗卖多少钱。 "10美元。"主人回答道。 "10美元？这只狗如此神奇，你为什么卖得这么便宜？” "因为他说谎。事实上他从没做过那些事。” Talking Dog for Sale A guy driving around the countryside 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 backyard. The guy goes into the backyard and sees a Labrador retriever sitting there. “You talk?” he asks. “Yep,” the Lab replies. “So, what’s your story?” The Lab looks up and says, “Well，I discovered that I could talk when I was pretty young. I wanted to help the government, so I told the CIA about my gift, and in no time at all 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 for eight years running. “But the jetting around really tired me out, and I knew I wasn't getting any younger so I decided to settle down. I signed up for a job at the airport to do some undercover security wandering near suspicious characters and listening in. “I uncovered some incredible dealings and was awarded a batch of medals. I got married, had a mess of puppies, and now I've just retired.，’ The guy is amazed. He goes back in and asks the owner what he wants for the dog. “Ten dollars,” the guy says. “Ten dollars? This dog is amazing. Why on earth are you selling him so cheap?” “Because he’s a liar. He never did any of that shit.” |
