How Swine Flu actually got started...

Why Parents Drink

The boss wondered why one of his most valued employees was absent but had not phoned in sick one day.

Needing to have an urgent problem with one of the main computers resolved, he dialed 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 full of dogs'

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

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

'ME.'

I'd like to see more of these - if you are going to be disappointed, may as well have a laugh as well....

I don't think so!

I wonder what could go wrong with this idea...

More to the point, how on earth did it ever get to the prototype stage without someone saying "Hmmmm. I wonder if anyone would be willing to put their arm in this in the event of a real fire, and risk getting burnt to a cinder?"
