Asking for Trouble

Asking for Trouble

It must have been about two in the morning when I returned home. I tried to wake up but my wife by ringing the door-bell, but she was fast asleep, so I got a ladder from the shed in the garden, put it against the wall, and began climbing towards the bedroom window. I was almost there when a sarcastic voice below said “I don’t think the window needs cleaning at this time of the night.” I looked down and nearly fell off the ladder when I saw a policeman. I immediately regretted answering in the way I did, but I said, “I enjoy cleaning windows at night.”

            “So do I,” answered the policeman in the same tone “Excuse my interrupting you. I hate to interrupt a man when he’s busy working, but would you mind coming with me to the station?”

            “Well, I’d prefer to stay here,” I said, “You see, I’ve forgotten my key.”

            “You what?” he called.

            “My key,” I shouted.

Fortunately, the shouting woke up my wife who opened the window just as the policeman had started to climb towards me.
