A boss wondered why one of his most valued employees had not phoned in sick one day. Having an urgent problem with one of the main computers,
He dialled the employers home phone number and was greeted with a
Child’s whisper.
"Hello"
"Is your daddy home?" he asked
"Yes" whispered the small voice
"May I talk with him?"
"No"
Surprised and wanting to talk with an adult, the boss asked, "Is your
Mummy there?"
"Yes"
"May I talk with her?"
Again the small voice whispered, "No"
Hoping there was somebody with whom he could leave a message, the boss
Asked, "Is anybody else there?"
"Yes, whispered the boy, "a policeman"
Wondering what a cop would be doing at his employee’s home, the boss
asked, "May I speak with the policeman?"
"No, he’s busy", whispered the child
"Busy doing what?"
Talking to daddy and mommy and the fireman", came the answer.
Growing more worried as he heard what sounded like a helicopter, through
the Earpiece on the phone, the boss asked , "What’s that noise?"
"A helicopter" answered the whispering voice.
"What is going on there?!", demanded the boss, now truly apprehensive.
Again whispering, the child answered, "The search team just landed The
helicopter."
Alarmed, concerned and a little frustrated the boss asked , "What are
they searching For?!!."
Still whispering, the young voice replied with a muffled
giggle............
"ME".
Hello Echrada, that's rather appropriate as this just happened a couple days ago.
Boy, 6, floats away in homemade balloon in Colo.
The Local Sheriff said this morning that the case has been referred to Federal Prosecutors for charges to be filed on Monday... This guy deserves everything he gets...
Colorado will submit an invoice to the father, at a minimum.
What I failed to grasp, at the time of the event, was how no one could tell that there was no object inside the balloon.
