WHEN THE TELEPHONE DOESN'T WORK
A Texas 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 pet 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 nearby 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 loudly 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 96 volts of signaling current when
the phone number was called.
4. After a couple of such jolts, the dog would start moaning
and then urinate on himself and the ground.
5. The wet ground would complete the circuit, thus causing
the phone to ring.
This demonstrates that some problems CAN be fixed by pissing
and moaning.
