THREE SOCKS 595
The other morning, after shaving
and brushing my teeth, I came back
to the bedroom to change from pajamas
to school clothes.
After getting three cats and one dogs off
of them (the clothes), I noticed that,
in addition to the pants, shirt and handkerchief,
there were...three socks.
I went to the top of the stairs and hollered
to my wife, Donna, "How come you gave me
three socks?"
"I thought you might need an extra one
for the foot that you've been accused of
putting in your mouth," she replied.
Needless to say, my wife didn't get any allowance
that week. (Just kidding!)
