There was a lighthouse keeper who lived in the tallest lighthouse in the world, it had the most beautiful views of the seashore and out to sea. And he loved it the only problem was that the telephone point was at the bottom of the stairs and he lived at the top and walk down to the phone was a complete bore, he either missed the call ‘cos it took to long to walk down or it was just a sales call.

His bosses would not pay for the phone to be moved as it was far too expensive.

He decided that he was going to do something about this, he thought and he thought and he thought, and he came up with an idea of training a dog to talk and then to answer the phone for him.

So on his next shore leave he went down to the pet shop and he asked the owner could he buy the most intelligent dog in the shop, the pet shop owner asked why and the lighthouse keeper told him why.

“I have just the dog for you” said the owner “he’ll learn to speak for you without too much bother, you might have to persevere a little though”

So the lighthouse keeper sets about teaching his new pet to speak and he makes good progress and the little by little the dog learns to talk, just like the pet shop owner said he would. After three months the dog can hold a conversation and after four months he’s ready to answer the phone.

The next task of teaching the dog the discipline of answering the phone and not just running around the room shouting at the TV when he doesn’t like something. Teaching the dog to answer the phone takes a little longer than expected but six months after buying the dog the lighthouse keeper feels ready to let the dog earn his keep by answering the phone for him.

So on the first night the lighthouse keeper cooks his favourite meal and settles down to watch an evening of undisturbed watching his TV and reading his book, he has food, a six pack of beer, some cigars and his feet up all relaxed. His new pet his laying next to him, and the world couldn’t be better.

All of a sudden the phone rings and the he sends the down to answer his first phone call.

A few minutes pass while the dog runs down the stairs but the lighthouse keeper hears the phone stop ringing, and a few minutes later a heavily panting dog reappears at the top of the stairs.

“well?” says the lighthouse keeper

and the dog replies “It’s for you”
