Phone Problem

A South Carolina 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. The
telephone repairman 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, the telephone
repairman found:
1. The dog was tied to the telephone
system's ground wire via a steel chain and collar.
2.The wire connection to the ground rod was loose.
3.The dog was receiving 90 volts of signaling current
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.
