A Family Affair

Daughter accidentally finds her mother having an affair.  Then her father calls.  "Hello, This is Daddy, is Mommy near the phone?"

Irish Horse

"No Daddy, she’s upstairs in the bedroom with Uncle Paul."

After a brief pause Daddy says, "But honey, you haven’t got an Uncle Paul."

"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."

"I did it, Daddy."

"And what happened honey?" he asked.

"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 Paul!?"

"He jumped out of 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 to clean it.

He hit the bottom of the pool and I think he’s dead."

Long pause.

Then Daddy says, "Swimming pool?... Is this 486-5731?
