5th's Daily Joke
|
The boss of a big company
needed to call one of his employees about an urgent problem
with one of the main computers. He dialed the employees home
phone number and was greeted with a child's whispered, "Hello?".
Feeling put out at the inconvenience of having to talk to
a youngster the boss asked, "Is your Daddy home?"
"Yes," whispered the small voice.
"May I talk with him?" the man asked.
To the surprise of the boss, the small voice whispered, "No."
Wanting to talk with an adult, the boss asked, "Is your
Mommy there?"
"Yes," came the answer.
"May I talk with her?"
Again, the small voice whispered, "No."
Knowing that it was not likely that a young child would be
left home alone, the boss decided he would just leave a message
with the person who should be there watching over the child.
"Is there any one there besides you?" the boss asked
the child.
"Yes," whispered the child, "a policeman."
Wondering what a cop would be doing at his employee's home,
the boss asked, "May I speak with the policeman?"
"No, he's busy," whispered the child.
"Busy doing what?" asked the boss.
"Talking to Daddy and Mommy and the Fireman" came
the whispered answer.
Growing concerned and even worried as he heard what sounded
like a helicopter through the ear piece on the phone, the
boss asked, "What is that noise?"
"A hello-copper," answered the whispering voice.
"What is going on there?" asked the boss, now alarmed.
In an awed whispering voice the child answered, "The
search team just landed the hello-copper!"
Alarmed, concerned, and more than just a little frustrated,
the boss asked, "Why are they there?"
Still whispering, the young voice replied along with a muffled
giggle, "They're looking for me!" |
