Rrriiiiinnnnggg, rrriiiinnnngg,
"Hello?" "Hi honey. This is Daddy. Is Mommy near the
phone?"
No, Daddy. She's upstairs in the bedroom with Uncle
Paul."
After a brief pause. Daddy says, "But honey, you
haven't got an Uncle Paul."
"Oh yes I do, and he's upstairs in the room with
Mommy, Right now."
Brief Pause.
"Uh, okay then, this is what I want you to do. Put the
phone down on the table, run upstairs and knock on the
bedroom door and shout to Mommy that Daddy's car just
pulled into the driveway."
"Okay, Daddy, Just a minute."
A few minutes later the little girl comes back to the
phone. "I did it, Daddy."
"And what happened, honey?" He asked
Well, Mommy got all scared, jumped out of bed with no
clothes on and ran around screaming.
Then she tripped over the rug, hit her head on the
dresser and now she isn't moving at all!"
Oh my God!!! What about your Uncle Paul?"
He jumped out of the bed with no clothes on, too. He
was all scared and he jumped out of the back window
and into the swimming pool. But I guess he didn't
know that you took out the water last week to clean
it. He hit the bottom of the pool and I think he's
dead."
Long Pause.
Longer Pause
Even Longer Pause
Then Daddy says, "Swimming pool? ........... Is this
486-5731?"
No, I think you have the wrong number.......
