Here's something silly sent in by one of our readers. An oldie, but goodie.
A banker places a call. The phone rings........
'Hello?'
'Hi honey, this is Daddy. Is Mommy near the phone'.
The little girl says, 'No, Daddy. She's upstairs in the bedroom with Uncle Paul'.
Brief pause
Daddy says, 'But honey, you haven't got an Uncle Paul'.
The little girl says, 'Oh yes I do, and he's upstairs in the room with Mommy, right now'.
Brief pause
Daddy says, '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'.
The little girl says, 'Okay, Daddy, Just a minute'.
A few minutes later the little girl comes back to the phone.
The little girl says, 'I did it, Daddy'.
Daddy says, 'And what happened, honey ?'.
The little girl says, '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'.
Daddy says, 'Oh my God!!! What about your Uncle Paul ?'.
The little girl says, '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 he's not moving either'.
Long pause
Longer pause
Even longer pause
Then Daddy finally says, 'Swimming pool ? Is this 486-5731 ?'
The little girl replies, 'No, I think you have the wrong number........'.
