    Why Parents Drink


    The boss wondered why one of his most valued employees was absent one day but had not phoned in sick . Needing to have an urgent problem with one of the main computers resolved, he dialled the employee's home phone number and was greeted with a child's whisper. ' Hello ? '

    'Is your daddy home?' he asked.

    ' Yes ,' whispered the small voice.
    May I talk with him?'

    The child whispered, ' No .'

    Surprised and wanting to talk with an adult, the boss asked, 'Is your Mummy there?' ' Yes '

    'May I talk with her?' Again the small voice whispered, ' No '

    Hoping there was somebody with whom he could leave a message, the boss asked, 'Is anybody else there?'

    ' 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?'

    ' Talking to Daddy and Mummy and the Fireman , ' came the whispered answer.

    Growing more worried as he heard a loud noise in the background through the earpiece on the phone, the boss asked, 'What is that noise?'

    ' A helicopter ' answered the whispering voice.

    'What is going on there?' demanded the boss, now truly apprehensive. Again, whispering, the child answered,

    ' The search team just landed a helicopter '

    Alarmed, concerned and a little frustrated the boss asked, 'What are they searching for?'

    Still whispering, the young voice replied with a muffled giggle...


    ' ME . '
    :D

    Grow up. this is something that honestly perplexes me, Ive a friend who keeps doing it too.

    Nobody here is claiming to have written these jokes themselves, so why do some people make a point of highlighting that they didnt?:confused:

    In fact, there are very very few people who make up the jokes they tell themselves

    No. Never. Now stop being silly.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.
