| Notes: | Classic campfire joke, adapted as a skit. Three Scouts play the owner, the dog, and the buyer. |
[Buyer:](Walks up, reads a sign) 'Talking Dog For Sale.' Huh. (Rings imaginary doorbell.)
[Owner:](Answers the door) Hi, can I help you?
[Buyer:]I saw your sign. Is it true? A talking dog?
[Owner:]Sure is! He's in the backyard. Go on back.
[Buyer:](Walks to scout sitting like a dog) So, you can talk?
[Dog:]Yep.
[Buyer:]:Whoa! So what's your story?
[Dog:]Well, I discovered I could talk when I was just a pup. I wanted to help the government, so I told the CIA. Next thing I knew, I was flying around the world, meeting with spies and world leaders. No one suspects a dog! I was their top spy for eight years. But jetting around tired me out, so I took a job at the airport as an undercover dog. I caught lots of crooks, got some medals, and settled down. Got married, had a bunch of puppies. Now I'm retired.
[Buyer:](Amazed, goes back to the owner) How much for the dog?
[Owner:]Ten bucks.
[Buyer:]Ten dollars? This dog is incredible! Why so cheap?
[Owner:]Because he's a liar. He didn't do any of that!
