a West Virginia 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.
Telephone repairman, Gary Lawson, 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, Gary 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 several jolts of voltage 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 youd like to know.
