"Hello?"
"Hi honey, this is Daddy, . . . is your Mommy near the phone?"
"No Daddy. She's upstairs in the bedroom with Unc'a Frank."
After a brief pause, Daddy says, "But you haven't got an Uncle
Frank, honey."
"Oh yes I do, and he's upstairs in the bedroom with Mommy right now!"
"Uh, okay, then . . . here's what I want you to do. Put the phone
down, run upstairs and knock on the bedroom door and shout to
Mommy and Uncle Frank that Daddy's car just pulled up outside the
house."
"Okay, Daddy."
A few minutes later, the little girl comes back to the phone.
"Well, I did what you said, Daddy."
"And what happened?" he asked.
"Well, Mommy got all scared, jumped out of the bed with no clothes
on and ran around screaming, then she tripped over the rug and went
flying out the front window and now she's all dead!"
"Oh my God ! ! ! - And what about your Uncle Frank?"
"He jumped out of bed with no clothes on too and he was all scared
and he jumped out the back window into the swimming pool . . . but
he must have forgot that last week you took out all the water to
clean it, so he hit the bottom of the swimming pool and now he's
all real dead too!"
. . . . long pause
Then Daddy says, "Swimming pool????? Is this 555-7039???"
