CIA spooks tried to spy on Soviet Russia using CATS implanted with microphones under their skin.

Declassified docs show how spy chiefs praised “pioneering” scientists for slitting open moggies and stitching in electronic hardware to uncover their enemies’ secrets.

bizarre attempt to spy

Talking Dog for Sale


I won my Corporation’s salesman of the year award in 2000, which included an invitation for my wife and I to join the Company in their annual awards ceremony. This year the awards banquet was in New Orleans. Most of my time was tightly scheduled but one afternoon I had some time to myself and decided to do some shopping.

While browsing the many shops in the French Quarter, I spotted an unusual sign in the window of a small family owned curio shop. The sign simply said “Talking Dog for Sell by Owner.” I rang the bell, the door buzzed, and I opened it and went inside. It was a small shop and an older man was sitting on an old divan reading the newspaper. I told him I had come to inquire about the talking dog for sale. He looked up from his newspaper just long enough to motion toward a rear door and tell me the dog is out back.

I go through the door into the back yard where I find a rather non-descript black mutt. He is just sitting there beside a large doghouse. I walked over to him and not knowing exactly what to do next I say, almost under my breath, “So you talk”?

I can’t say I was even startled when the mutt answered back with a very matter of fact “Yep.”

So, I ask, “what's your story?"

The mutt looks up and says, "Well, I discovered this gift pretty young and I wanted to help the government, so I told the CIA about my gift, and in no time they had me jetting from country to country, sitting in rooms with spies and world leaders. No one ever figured a dog would be eavesdropping. I was one of their most valuable spies eight years running.

”They treated me very well but the jetting around really tired me out. I wasn't getting any younger and I just wanted to settle down. So, I signed up for a job at Moisant Field airport to do some undercover security work. This mostly involved just wandering near suspicious characters and listening in. They awarded me a batch of medals for my work at MSY. But then that grew tiresome so I quit, married, and had a mess of puppies and now I'm just retired."

I am totally amazed. I go back in and ask the owner how much he wants for the dog.

The owner says, "fifty dollars."

I immediately reply. "This dog is amazing. Why on earth are you selling him so cheap?"

The owner replies, "He's such a liar. He didn't do any of that stuff."

It was a failure. They couldn’t hear anything over the purring.

I thought that they might hear a lot of can openers.

The best part of this article:

“But on its first test, its CIA handlers watched on in horror as their robo-kitty was run over and killed just seconds into the mission.”

Occupational hazard, I suppose for all spies.

They probably have some great recordings of cat purring.

I would bet that if you could get the Stoopid stories from either side here you’d have an entertaining spoof filled master piece,
