SNAPDRAGON’S JOKE
A guy gets home early from work and hears strange noises
coming from the bedroom. He rushes upstairs to find his
wife naked on the bed, sweating and panting.
"What's up?" he asks. "I'm having a heart attack!"
cries the woman. He rushes downstairs to grab the phone,
but just as he's dialing, his four-year-old son comes up and
says, "Daddy! Daddy! Uncle Ted's hiding in our Wardrobe
and he's got no clothes on!" He slams the phone down and
storms upstairs into the bedroom, past his screaming wife.
He rips open the wardrobe door. Sure enough, there is his
brother, totally naked, cowering on the floor.
"You bastard," says the husband. "My wife is having a heart
attack, and you're running around with no clothes on scaring
the kids!"
