The boss wondered why one of his most valued employees was absent but had not phoned in. So he dialed the employee's home phone number and was greeted with a child's whisper'Hello ?'. 'Is your daddy home?''Yes, he's out in the garden',whispered the small voice. 'May I talk with him?'The child whispered, 'No'.
So the boss asked, 'Well, is your Mommy there?''Yes, she's out in the garden too'. The boss asked; '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 Mommy and the police dog men.' Growing more worried as he heard a loud noise in the background.
The boss asked, 'What is that noise?' 'It's a helicopter' answered the whispering voice. 'What is going on there?' demanded the boss, now truly apprehensive.'The search team just landed a helicopter' 'A search team?' said the boss.
'What are they searching for ?
Still wispering, the young voice replied with a muffled giggle.... 'ME '
If you think education is expensive, try ignorance.
