    A combined lesson in human relations & chemistry!

    An elderly lady contacted her telephone company to report that 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 elderly 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 he heard the dog moan 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 90 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 the ground.

    5. The wet ground would complete the circuit, thus causing the phone to
    ring.

    Which just goes to show that some problems can be fixed by pissing and
    moaning!!
