A couple was dressed and ready to go out for the
evening. They turned on a night light, turned the
answering machine on the phone line, covered their
pet parakeet and put the cat in the backyard.
They phoned the local cab company and requested a
taxi. The taxi arrived and the couple opened the front
door to leave their house. The cat they had put
out into the yard scoots back into the house.
They don't want the cat shut in the house because
"she" always tries to eat the bird. The wife goes out
to the taxi while the husband goes inside to get
the cat. The cat runs upstairs, the man in hot
pursuit.
The wife doesn't want the driver to know the house
will be empty. She explains to the taxi driver that her
husband will be out soon."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, as they drive away.
"Stupid bitch was hiding under the bed. Had to poke
her with a coat hanger to get her to come out! Then I
had to wrap her in a blanket to keep her from
scratching me. But it worked. I hauled her fat ass
downstairs and threw her out into the back yard!"
