Uncle Muntz

**Rrriiiiinnnnggg, rrriiiinnnngg,**






**'Hello?'**










**'Hi honey.**
**This is Daddy.**
**Is Mommy near the phone?'**










**'No, Daddy.**
**She's upstairs in the bedroom with Uncle Muntz.'**










**After a brief pause,**










**Daddy says,**
**'But honey, you haven't got an Uncle Muntz.'**










**'Oh yes I do, and he's upstairs in the room with Mommy,**
**Right now..'**










Brief Pause.









**'Uh, okay then, this is what I want you to do.**
**Put the phone down on the table, run upstairs**
**And knock on the bedroom door and shout to Mommy**
**That Daddy's car just pulled into the driveway.'**









**'Okay, Daddy, Just a minute.'**








**A few minutes later**
**The little girl comes back to the phone.**








**'I did it, Daddy.'**








**'And what happened, honey?' **








'Well, Mommy got all scared, jumped out of bed with no clothes on and ran around screaming.**










**Then she tripped over the rug, hit her head on the dresser**
**And now she isn't moving at all!'**










**'Oh my God!!! What about your Uncle Muntz?'**










**'He jumped out of the bed with no clothes on, too.**










**He was all scared and he jumped out of the back window**
**And into the swimming pool.**
**But I guess he didn't know that you took out the water**
**Last week to clean it.**










**He hit the bottom of the pool and I think he's dead.'**










*****Long Pause*****











*****Longer Pause*****











*****Even Longer Pause*****










**Then Daddy says,**










**'Swimming pool? ...........**










**Is this 486-5731?'*

















**No, I think you have the wrong number........*

OOOOOOOhhhhhhhhhhh............... Damn.
