Joke No. 161

Good Excuse

Jones came into the office, an hour late for the third time
in one week and found the boss waiting for him. "What's
the story this time, Jones?" his boss asked sarcastically.
"Let's hear a good excuse for a change."

Jones 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 drawbridge got stuck.� Rather
than let you down, I swam across the river -- look, my
suit´s still damp -- ran out to the airport, got a ride on
Mr. Thompson´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, Jones," said the boss,
obviously disappointed. "No woman can get ready in ten
minutes."
