A couple were dressed and ready to go out for the evening.
They turned on a night light, turned the answer machine on
the phone line, covered their pet parakeet and threw the cat
into the back yard. 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 thrown into
the yard scoots back into the house. They don't want the cat
shut in the house because "he" 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 wan the driver to know the house will be
empty so she explains to the taxi driver that her husband will
be out soon. "He's just going upstairs to say good-bye to my
mother." A few minutes later, the husband gets into the cab.
"Sorry I took so long," he says. "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 into the backyard!!"
