The housewife answered a knock on the door
and found a total
stranger standing on the doorstep.
„Excuse me
for disturbing you, ma’am,“ he said politely, „but I
pass your
house every morning on my way to work, and I’ve noticed that
every day
you appear to be hitting your son on the head with a loaf of
bread.“
„That’s right.“ „Every day you hit him on the head with a loaf of
bread, and yet this morning you were beating him with a chocolate
cake.“ „Well, today is his birthday.“
