So - a final joke from my latest pensioners' magazine.  It's a bit lengthy, but well worth persevering to the end, I think.

The boss wondered why one of his most valued employees was absent, but hadn't 'phoned in sick,  So he dialled 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?"
"No"
So the boss asked "Well, is your mummy there?"
"Yes, she's out in the garden too"
"May I talk with her?"
Again the small voice whispered "No"
Hoping there was someone with whom he could leave a message, the boss asked "Is there anyone else there?"
"Yes" whispered the child "there's a policeman"
Wondering what the police would be doing at his employee's home, he asked "May I speak with the policeman?"
"No, he's busy"whispered the child
"Busy doing what?"
"Talking to daddy and mummy and the police dog men"
Growing more worried, he heard a loud noise in the background and asked "What is that noise?"
"It's a helicopter" answered the whispering voice
"What is going on there?" he demanded, now truly apprehensive
"The search team just landed a helicopter"
"A search team?" said the boss "What are they searching for?"
Still whispering. the young voice replied with a muffled giggle
"Me!!"
