A guy is driving around the back woods of Tennessee 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 back yard 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 tal k when I
was pretty young. ?I wanted to help the government, so I told the CIA
and they had me sworn into the toughest branch of the armed
services...the United States Marines. ?You know one of their nicknames
is 'The Devil Dogs.'
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 retired from the Corps (8 dog years is 56 Corps years) and 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 such a bullsh*tter .. . He never did any of that
sh*t. He was in the Navy.
LOL - my husband (ex-Marine) is always ripping on the Navy. It's all in fun, of course... we live near Great Lakes Naval Base and he goes out of his way to buy lunch or a drink for a sailor when we're out and about, or at the very least just shaking their hand and saying "Thanks." But he will go to his grave maintaining the superiority of the Marines over the Navy!
My dad was /is a Marine and his best friend , a Navy guy.They also have their
