Wrong number...........
"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, 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 emptied it 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 555-486-5731?"
