There was an expectant father who had spent quite some time waiting for the
offspring to arrive - at his in-laws' place.
As his leave balance had gone into the red, he tells his father-in-law,
'When my son comes, do not call up my office and say that I have become a
father of a boy because I'll have to shell out a lot for parties. Just
leave me a message that the clock has arrived. This will be our code for
the arrival of the baby.'
The offspring does finally arrive one day, but it's a daughter. The
father-in-law now thinks to himself, 'If I tell him that the clock has not
arrived, he'll misunderstand and think that something has happened to the
baby and come rushing over.'
So the father-in-law left the following message: 'The clock has arrived,
but the pendulum is missing.'
:lol: :lol: :lol:
