THE HOLE

When I arrived home after a long hard day of pulling teeth, I discovered a huge 20-foot hole in the side of my house. Actually, I didn't notice it right away, it wasn't really until later when I was showering that I felt the draft.

I stepped out of the tub, covered myself with a HERS towel and proceeded to check it out. It was then that I noticed that I was dripping on the carpet, so I first dried myself off. Then, after putting my suit back on, I rushed into the bedroom where my wife Millicent was calmly reading the cartoons.

"Honey", I asked her. "Why is there a hole in the wall?"

To my surprise, her answer was normal and unexcited: "Is there?"

I briefly explained that there was a gigantic 20-foot hole penetrating both the first and second stories of our house and we could see right out it into the neighbour's yard.

"I was hoping you wouldn't notice," she said flatly, before returning again to her reading.

I sensed immediately that she was hiding something, but it was obvious that she didn't want to talk about it, and being the good husband that I am, I said no more about it.
