[OKDXA] Fwd: Gitter done

[K8fu at aol.com]

An Oklahoma 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 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 ringing 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, 
thus causing the phone to ring.  
Which demonstrates that some problems CAN be fixed 
by pissing and  moaning. 
Just thought you'd like to know.
