Daddy Phones Home

Beam Me UP

Hi, Honey, this is Daddy. Is your Mommy near the phone?" "No, Daddy, She's upstairs in the bedroom with Uncle TZ."

After a brief pause, Daddy says, "But you haven't got an Uncle TZ."

"Oh Yes, I do, and he's upstairs in the bedroom with Mommy, right now!"

"Uh, Okay, then, here's what I want you do. Put down the phone, run upstairs, knock on the bedroom door and shout to Mommy and Uncle TZ that Daddy's car just pulled up the driveway."

"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 asks.

"Well, Mommy got all scared, jumped out of 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 TZ?"

"He jumped out of bed with no clothes on too 'cause he was all scared, and he jumped out the back window into the swimming pool. But he must have forgotten that last week you took out all the water out to clean it. So he hit the bottom of the swimming pool and now he's all dead, too."

There was a long pause on the phone.

Then Daddy says, "Swimming pool? Is this 867-5309?"
