The boss of a big company needed to call one of his employees about an
urgent problem with one of the main computers. He dialed the employees
home phone number and was greeted with a child's whispered, "Hello?"
Feeling put out at the inconvenience of having to talk to a youngster
the boss asked, "Is your Daddy home?"
"Yes", whispered Little Tommy.
May I talk with him?" the man asked.
To the surprise of the boss, Little Tommy whispered, "No."
Wanting to talk with an adult, the boss asked, "Is your Mommy there?"
"Yes", came the answer.
"May I talk with her?" Again Little Tommy whispered, "No."
Knowing that it was not likely that a young child would be left home
alone, the boss decided he would just leave a message with the person
who should be there watching over the child. "Is there any one there
besides you?" the boss asked the child.
"Yes", whispered Little Tommy, "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 Little Tommy.
"Busy doing what?" asked the boss.
"Talking to Daddy and Mommy and the Fireman", came the whispered answer.
Growing concerned and even worried as he heard what sounded like a
helicopter through the ear piece on the phone the boss asked, "What is
that noise?"
"A hello-copper", answered the whispering Little Tommy.
"What is going on there?" asked the boss, now alarmed.
In an awed whispering voice Little Tommy answered, "The search team just
landed the hello-copper!"
Alarmed, concerned and more than just a little frustrated the boss
asked, "Why are they there?"
Still whispering, Little Tommy replied along with a muffled giggle,
"They're looking for me!"
