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.......
