A Baja California Ranchers wife

A Baja California Ranchers 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 with 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, t hus causing the phone to
ring.

Which demonstrates that some problems CAN be fixed by peeing and
moaning.

Just thought you'd like to know.

I used to be a SIRT (Station Installation Repair Technician) with Mtn. Bell (along with my own company for a few years).

I can personally attest that ring current will make you pee your pants.

But I would cuss...not moan!

Baja????

Sounds like Michael Vick's house.

Or maybe Ron Mexico's.

That's a good one.

Another OLD Urban Legend

Speaking of Which

Not only has Bruce conceived a good joke, his spelling ifflaction has been cured.....Must be that diesel exhaust in Ensenada.
