“Hi there? My husband’s arm is totally caught inside our couch,” she defined to the dispatcher.
The dispatcher paused. “Is he injured, ma’am?”
“Solely his pleasure,” Martha replied dryly. “However you’d higher hurry earlier than he finishes consuming all of the snacks.”
Listening to this, Earl yelled from the depths of the cushions, “Inform them to carry the jaws of life… or not less than a sandwich!”

“They’re on their manner, expensive… simply as quickly as they cease laughing.”
