The cat

[FLYING BANANA]

We were dressed and ready to go out for a Dinner & Theatre that
evening
We turned on a 'night light', turned the answering machine on, covered
our pet budgie and put the cat in the backyard
We phoned the local Taxi company and requested a taxi.
The taxi arrived and we opened the front door to leave the house
As we walked out the door, the cat we had put out in the yard scooted
back into the house.

We didn't want the cat shut in the house because she always tries to
get at the budgie.
My wife walked on out to the taxi, while I went back inside to get the
cat.
The cat ran upstairs, with me in hot pursuit.
Waiting in the cab, my wife didn't want the driver to know that the
house will be empty for the night. So, she explained to the taxi driver that I would be out soon."He's just going upstairs to say Goodbye to my mother."
A few minutes later, I got into the cab. "Sorry I took so
long," I said, as we drove away.
"She was hiding under the bed.
I had to poke her behind 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 behind downstairs and threw her out into the back
yard!
. .............She'd better not poo in the vegetable garden
again!"
The silence in the Taxi was deafening
