Talking Dog For Sale

A guy is driving around the back woods of Montana and he sees a sign in front of a broken down shanty-style house:

Talking Dog For Sale

He rings the bell and the owner appears and tells him the dog is in the backyard.

The guy goes into the backyard and sees a nice looking Labrador Retriever sitting there.

"You talk?" he asks.

"Yep," the Lab replies.

After the guy recovers from the shock of hearing a dog talk, he says "So, what's your story?"

The Lab looks up and says, "Well, I discovered that I could talk when I was pretty young. I wanted to help the government, so I told the CIA. In no time at all they had me jetting from country to country, sitting in rooms with spies and world leaders, because no one figured a dog would be eavesdropping.

"I was one of their most valuable spies for eight years running. But the jetting around really tired me out, and I knew I wasn't getting any younger so I decided to settle down. I signed up for a job at the airport to do some undercover security, wandering near suspicious characters and listening in. I uncovered some incredible dealings and was awarded a batch of medals.

"I got married, had a mess of puppies, and now I'm just retired."

The guy is amazed. He goes back in and asks the owner what he wants for the dog.

"Ten dollars," the guy says.

"Ten dollars? This dog is amazing! Why on earth are you selling him so cheap?"

"Because he's a liar. He never did any of that shit."

I've got a Saturn Vue for sale that I wouldn't mind doing this to - with a bunch of sledge hammers. With any luck, it would be a one time only performance.

A Tee Shirt I'd Like To See

Suggested by Glenn Reynolds:

"Proudly Ungovernable Since 1776"

As Instapundit reader Zachary Terry writes: “That silly, silly Constitution. It always seems to get in the way. In all seriousness, though, wasn’t the United States intended to be relatively ‘ungoverned?’ Why is it not surprising that blatant deviation from the intended structure and function of our national government has led to this quandary?”

Celebrity Shoppers

I was reading a post about Mick Jagger shopping in a toy store and what an SOB he was to the staff. As I paged through the comments which were filled with similar stories I came upon this one:

I worked at Amoeba Music in Hollywood a few years back and we got all kinds of celebrity shoppers. James Spader and Jim Jarmusch were fairly regular, with Spader wearing one of the best "I'm totally inconspicuous" hats ever. In addition to the hundreds of in-stores, we had a lot of rockstar shoppers like Tom Petty & Dwight Yoakum. But one of the best was Robert Plant. As he shopped, everyone maintained a very respectful distance. When he checked out, the guy at the register said something like "I can't believe I'm selling music to Robert Plant." To which he said "Kind of a mind-fuck, isn't it?"

They're Everywhere!!!

This map represents every McDonald's restaurant in the United States. From Stephen Von Worley at Weather Sealed:
"As expected, McDonald’s cluster at the population centers and hug the highway grid. East of the Mississippi, there’s wall-to-wall coverage, except for a handful of meager gaps centered on the Adirondacks, inland Maine, the Everglades, and outlying West Virginia.

For maximum McSparseness, we look westward, towards the deepest, darkest holes in our map: the barren deserts of central Nevada, the arid hills of southeastern Oregon, the rugged wilderness of Idaho’s Salmon River Mountains, and the conspicuous well of blackness on the high plains of northwestern South Dakota. There, in a patch of rolling grassland, loosely hemmed in by Bismarck, Dickinson, Pierre, and the greater Rapid City-Spearfish-Sturgis metropolitan area, we find our answer.

Between the tiny Dakotan hamlets of Meadow and Glad Valley lies the McFarthest Spot: 107 miles distant from the nearest McDonald’s, as the crow flies, and 145 miles by car!"

222 Years Ago Today

September 17, 1787, the United States Constitution was signed. You can visit The National Constitution Center and read all about it. In addition, you can take part in an interesting quiz which will tell you which Founding Father you resemble most. Believe it or not, I was told I resemble James Madison. I'll take that as a great compliment!
