CAREFUL WHERE YOU PLACE THINGS
A carpet installer was laying new living room carpeting in a large
mansion. After laboriously pulling, stretching, and tacking the
carpet, he finally finished, and gratefully sat back to enjoy a
cigarette.
Reaching into his shirt pocket, however, he found that his
cigarettes were gone, and looking toward the center of the room, he
saw a bulge the size of a cigarette pack under the new carpeting. He
of course had no intention of pulling up the carpet, so instead he
took a large mallet, and pounded the lump flat, so it could not be
seen.
He then hopped in his truck and headed back to the office. On the
way, he found his cigarettes in the glove compartment.
Just then his cellular telephone rang. When he answered it, he
discovered it was the dispatcher from his office. The dispatcher
said that the homeowner had just called them in a panic.
It seems their son's favorite pet hamster was missing. Had the
carpet layer seen the hamster while he was in the house?
