"Hello honey. This is Daddy. Is Mummy near the phone?"
"No Daddy. She's upstairs in the bedroom with Uncle Paul."
After a brief pause, Daddy says, "But honey, you haven't got an
Uncle Paul."
"Oh yes I do, and he's upstairs in the room with Mummy, right now."
Brief Pause.
"Uh, okay then, this is what I want you to do. Put the phone down on
the table, run upstairs, knock on the bedroom door and shout to Mummy
that Daddy's car just pulled into the driveway."
"Okay Daddy, just a minute."
A few minutes later the little girl comes back to the phone.
"I did it Daddy."
"And what happened honey?" he asked.
"Well, Mummy got all scared, jumped out of bed with no clothes on
and ran around screaming. Then she tripped over the rug, hit her head on the
dresser and now she isn't moving at all!"
"Oh my God!!! What about your Uncle Paul?"
"He jumped out of the bed with no clothes on, too. He was all scared
and he jumped out of the back window and into the swimming pool. But I
suppose he didn't know that you took out the water last week to clean it. He
hit the bottom of the pool and I think he's dead."
Then Daddy says, "Swimming pool? .. . Is this 01823 406789?"
