A veterinarian surgeon had had a hell of a day, but when he got home
from tending to all the sick animals his wife was waiting with a long
cool drink and a romantic candle-lit dinner, after which they had a few
more drinks and went happily to bed.
At about 2:00 in the morning, the phone rang. "Is this the vet?" asked
an elderly lady's voice.
"Yes, it is", replied the vet, "Is this an emergency?"
"Well, sort of", said the elderly lady, "there's a whole bunch of cats
on the roof outside making a terrible noise mating and I can't get to
sleep. What can I do about it?"
There was a sharp intake of breath from the vet, who then patiently
replied "Open the window and tell them they're wanted on the phone"
"Really?" said the elderly lady, "Will that stop them?"
