Lord Noel Says Make That Call.........

Whatto! Conversationalists........

A young woman recently called her phone company to report a fault........

Apparently when her friends tried to ring her they couldn't get through.......

.......... and on the odd occasion that they DID manage to get through............her dog always moaned just before the phone rang.......

The telephone engineer duly arrived .........and set to work to try to rectify the situation........

He climbed the telegraph pole and plugged in his headset to test the system..........

.....then dialled the lady's phone telephone number......

As a result of this phone call the engineer was able to deduce the following facts:

1) The dog is tied to the telephone systems 'ground wire' with a steel chain and collar.

2) The rod connected to the ground rod is loose.

3) The dog is receiving approximately 90 volts of signalling current each time the number is called.

4) After a couple of jolts of electricity the dog starts moaning and then urinates.

5) The wet ground then completes the electrical circuit thus causing the phone to ring.

Which demonstrates quite conclusively that some problems can be fixed by moaning and taking the p1ss!


Tallyho!
