A couple was going out for the evening. They`d gotten ready,
all dolled up, cat put out, etc. The taxi arrives, and as the
couple got out, the cat shoots back in. They don`t want the
cat shut in the house, so the wife goes out to the taxi while
the husband goes upstairs to chase the cat out. The wife, not wanting it known that the house will be empty explains to the taxi driver, "He`s just going upstairs to say goodbye to my mother." A few minutes later, the husband gets into the cab, "Sorry I took so long," he says. "Stupid old thing was hiding under the bed and I had to poke at her with a coat hanger to get her to come out!" |
