ASK FOR TROUBLE
It must have been about two in the morning when I returned home. I tried to wake up my wife by ringing the doorbell, but she was fast asleep, so I got a ladder from the shed in the garden, put it against the wall, and began climbing towards the bedroom window.
I was almost there when a sarcastic voice below said:
“I don’t think the windows need cleaning at this time of the night.”
I looked down and nearly fell off the ladder when I saw a policeman. I immediately regretted answering in the way I did, but I said:
“I enjoy cleaning windows at night.”
“So do I,” answered the policeman in the same tone. “Excuse my interrupting you. I have to interrupt a man when he’s busy working, but would you mind coming with me to the station?”
“well, I’d prefer to stay here,” I said. “You see, I’ve forgotten my key.”
“Your what?,” he called.
“My key,” I shouted.
Fortunately, the shouting woke up my wife who opened the window just as the policeman had started to climb towards me.
I regretted answering like that. I was sorry _________ so.
