=== Phone Call ===
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 employee's 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 anyone 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."
Thanks for the laughs, ladies--back at ya!
