A TRUE STORY

[Tom Coss]

A True story - Saturday morning... Bob's just about to set off on a
round of golf when he realizes that he forgot to tell his wife that the
guy who fixes the washing machine is coming around at noon. So Bob heads
back to the clubhouse and phones home.
    "Hello?" Says a little girl's voice.     "Hi, honey,
it's Daddy," Says Bob. "Is Mommie near the phone?"   "No, Daddy.
She's upstairs in the bedroom with uncle Frank."     After a
brief pause, Bob says, "But you haven't got an Uncle Frank, honey!"
    "Yes I do, and he's upstairs in the bedroom with Mommie!"
    "Okay, then. Here's what I want you do. Put down the phone,
run upstairs and knock on the bedroom door and shout in to Mommie and
uncle
    Frank that my car's 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?"
  "Well, Mommie jumped out of bed with no clothes on and ran around
screaming, then she tripped over the rug and went out the front window
and now she's all dead."
    "Oh my God... And what about 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 dead too."  There is a
very long pause, then Bob says, "Swimming pool? What pool? We dont have
a pool! Is this 854-7039?" No you have the wrong number!!! From, TOM
