A woman was at home with her children when
the telephone rang. In going to answer it,
she tripped on her rug, grabbed for
something to hold on to and seized the
telephone table. It fell over with a crash,
jarring the receiver off the hook. As it fell,
it hit the family dog, who leaped up, howling
and barking. The woman's three-year-old son,
startled by this noise, broke into loud
screams. The woman mumbled some colorful words.
She finally managed to pick up the receiver
and lift it to her ear, just in time to hear
her husband's voice on the other end say,
"Nobody's said hello yet, but I'm positive I
have the right number."


Quick Wit:

A teenage girl had been talking on the phone for
about half an hour, and then she hung up.

"Wow!" said her father, "That was short.
You usually talk for two hours. What happened?"

"Wrong number..." replied the girl.
