Why Parents Drink

Why parents drink....

A boss wondered why one of his most valued employees had not phoned in
sick one day. Having an urgent problem with one of the main computers,
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 Mummy and Daddy and the Fireman," came the whispered answer.
Growing more worried as he heard what sounded like a helicopter through
the earpiece on the phone, the boss asked, "What is that noise?" "A
hello-copper" 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 the hello-copper." 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."


Laughed my a$$ off at that!

You obviously dont understand if it makes no sense!!

*Saying it makes no sense is not the same as saying its not funny.
