Harry came
into the office an hour late for the third time in a week. "What's the story
this time, Harry?" his boss asked sarcastically. "Let's hear a good excuse
for a change."
Harry 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 draw bridge got stuck.
I swam across the river--see, my suit's still damp--ran out to the airport,
got a ride on Mr. Trump'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, Harry," said the boss. "No woman can
get ready in ten minutes!"
