Well before I get too much hassle from Eric I guess I had better post couple 
This is apparently a true story but with a moral to it
An elderly lady called to say that her telephone failed to ring when
her friends called; and that on the few occasions when it did ring, her dog
always barked before the phone rang. The telephone repairman proceeded to the
scene, curious to see this psychic dog and/or senile elderly lady. He climbed
a nearby telephone pole, hooked in his test set, and dialed the subscriber's
house. The phone didn't ring but the dog barked loudly and then the
telephone did ring. Climbing down from the pole, the telephone repairman
found:
1.The dog was tied to the telephone system's ground post via an iron chain and collar.
2. The dog was receiving 90 volts of signaling current when the phone number was called.
3. After several such jolts, the dog would start barking and urinate on the ground.
4. The wet ground would complete the circuit and the phone would ring.
The moral of the story?
It just goes to show shows that some problems can be solved by just p'ssing on them

One afternoon a wealthy lawyer was riding in his limousine when he saw two men along the roadside eating grass. Disturbed, he
ordered his driver to stop and he got out to investigate.
He asked one man, "Why are you eating grass?"
"We don't have any money for food," the poor man replied. "We have to eat grass."
"Well, then, you can come with me to my house and I'll feed you" the lawyer said.
"But sir. I have a wife and two children with me.
They are over there, under that tree"
"Bring them along," the lawyer replied. Turning to the other poor man he stated, "You come with us also."
The second man, in a pitiful voice, then said, "But sir, I also have a wife and SIX children with me!"
"Bring them all, as well," the lawyer answered.
They all entered the car, which was no easy task, even for a car as large as the limousine was.
Once underway, one of the poor fellows turned to the lawyer and said, "Sir, you are too kind. Thank you for taking all of us with you."
The lawyer replied, "Glad to do it. You'll really love my place.
The grass is almost a foot high!"
