Bastard Kids


Try as I might, I can't get an old joke out of my head after reading this.

But - with observers beginning to fear the worst - Falcon was eventually found hiding in a box in his parents' attic, unaware of the extraordinary state-wide chase he had caused. He may, perhaps, be in a little trouble with his parents.

So, here goes:

{phone rings}
Kid {whispering}: Hello
Caller: Hi young man, can I talk to your father please?
Kid {whispering}: No, he's busy
Caller: OK, your mother, then?
Kid {whispering}: No, she's busy
Caller: Is there anyone else there I can talk to?
Kid {whispering}: A policeman.
Caller: Great, can you let me talk to him?
Kid {whispering}: No, he's busy.
Caller: OK. Anyone else there?
Kid {whispering}: The fire brigade
Caller: There are a lot of people in your house. What on earth are they all busy doing?
Kid {whispering}: Looking for me.

I never said it was a good joke, by the way.
