Prime-time air kisses for the U.N. (Beat the Press).(journalists should think about how they portray the United Nations)(Column)

Here's my new favorite joke. A guy pulls into a gas station. He sees a sign reading "Talking Dog For Sale: $10." The guy goes up to the clerk and says, "Is that sign for real?" The clerk responds, "Absolutely. He's in the back."

The guy walks around to the back of the station and sees a dog resting its head on its paws. Awkwardly, the guy goes up to the dog: "Can you really talk?"

The dog replies, "Oh, sure."

"Wow! What's your story?"

The dog says: "Well, I've had a pretty wild life. I worked for the CIA for several years. Since nobody thinks dogs can talk, I could listen in on all sorts of stuff. I spied for the U.S. government all around the world. Then, with all the terrorist stuff, they had me working airports. I personally foiled two dozen terrorist plots. After that, I trained a whole generation of dogs for covert ops...."

The man returns to the clerk and says, "My goodness, that dog is amazing! Why on earth are you selling him for $10?"

"Because he's a no-good liar. He didn't do any of that stuff. He just makes it up"
