So, if you haven’t had your daily dose of laughter yet, consider this a reminder to start those giggles.
Take a look at the joke below and enjoy all the benefits that a healthy laugh can bring. I don’t know if you’ve heard it before, but it was new to me, so I thought I’d share it with you in hopes it brings a smile to your face.
— “Hello?”
— “Hi, my dear. It’s Dad. Is Mom near the phone?”
— “No, Daddy. She’s upstairs in the bedroom with Uncle Paul.”
After a brief pause, Dad says:
— “But, my dear, you don’t have an Uncle Paul.”
— “Yes, I do, and he’s upstairs in the room with Mom right now.”
Short pause.
— “Aha… well, then I want you to do this: put the phone down on the table, run upstairs, knock on the bedroom door, and shout to Mom that Dad’s car just pulled into the driveway.”
— “Okay, Daddy, one moment.”
A few minutes later, the little girl returns to the phone.
— “I did it, Daddy.”
— “And what happened, my dear?” he asks.
— “Well… Mom got really scared, jumped out of bed without any clothes on, and started running around screaming. Then she tripped over the rug, hit her head on the dresser, and now she’s not moving at all!”
— “Oh my!!! But what happened to Uncle Paul?”
— “He jumped out of bed without any clothes on, scared, and jumped out the back window, straight into the pool. But I think he didn’t know that you drained the water out of it last week to clean it. He hit the bottom of the pool and I think he’s dead.”
Long pause
Then Dad says:
— “Pool?… Wait… is this 486-5731?”
