A couple was dressed and ready to go out into the city for the evening.
They turned on a night light, turned the answering machine on the
phone line, covered their pet parakeet and put the cat in the backyard. They
phoned the local cab company and requested a taxi. The taxi arrived
and the couple opened the front door to leave their house. The cat they
had put out into the yard scoots back to the house. They
don't want the cat shut in the house because she
always tries to eat the bird. The wife goes out to the taxi while
the husband goes inside to get the cat. The cat runs upstairs, the
man in hot pursuit.

Waiting in the cab, the wife doesn't want the driver to know the house
will be empty for the night. She explains to the taxi driver that her
husband will be out soon. "He's just going upstairs to say good-bye to
my Mother."

A few minutes later, the husband gets into the cab. "Sorry I took so
long," he says, as they drive away. "Stupid ***** was hiding under the
bed. Had to poke her with a coat hanger to get her to come out! She
tried to take off so I grabbed her by the neck. Then I had to wrap her in a
blanket to keep her from scratching me but it worked. I hauled her fat
*** downstairs and threw her out into the back yard!"

The cab driver hit a parked car......
