Police At The Door
The police came to my front door the other night holding a picture of my wife.
The Constable said "Is this your wife sir?"
Shocked I answered "Yes."
He said, "I'm afraid I have to tell you that it looks like she's been hit by a bus."
I said, "I know, but she has a lovely personality and she's good with the kids..."
