Good Excuse

[AltumAngel]

Jones came into the office, an hour late for the third time

in one week and found the boss waiting for him. "What's

the story this time, Jones?" his boss asked sarcastically.

"Let's hear a good excuse for a change."

Jones sighed, "Everything went wrong this morning, Boss.

The wife decided to drive me to the station. She got ready

in ten minutes, but then the drawbridge got stuck.? Rather

than let you down, I swam across the river -- look, my

suit´s still damp -- ran out to the airport, got a ride on

Mr. Thompson´s helicopter, landed on top of Radio City

Music Hall, and was carried here piggyback by one of the

Rockettes."

"You'll have to do better than that, Jones," said the boss,

obviously disappointed. "No woman can get ready in ten

minutes."
