A man was traveling on business and decided to phone his wife to inform her that he had arrived safely. A small child picks up the phone. “Hello?” “Hello, Honey. This is Daddy. “Is Mommy near the phone?” Daddy asks. “No, Dad. She is upstairs in the bedroom with Uncle Paul.” After a little pause, Daddy remarks, “But, honey, you don’t have an Uncle Paul.”
“Oh, yes I do, and he’s upstairs in the room with Mommy, right now.” Dad takes a second to consider this before speaking. “Okay, then here’s what I want you to do. Put the phone down, rush upstairs, knock on the bedroom door, and tell Mommy that Daddy’s car has just come into the driveway. A few minutes later, the little girl returns to the phone. “I did it, Daddy!”
“And what happened, honey?” he inquired. “Well, Mommy got scared, jumped out of bed without clothes, and ran around screaming.” Then she tripped over the rug, struck her head on the dresser, and is now motionless!” “Oh my God! What about your uncle Paul? “He also rushed out of bed without any clothing on. He was terrified and leaped out of the back window into the swimming pool.
But I imagine he didn’t realize you removed the water last week to clean it. He hit the bottom of the pool..” A prolonged, silent pause. Daddy asks, “Swimming pool?…” Is it 486-5731?”
