A woman was hosting a dinner party when she was interrupted by the
maid calling her into the kitchen.
“Ma’am, the cat climbed up on the counter and ate half the fresh
salmon,” the maid said.
The hostess told her to replace the missing portion with canned salmon
and serve it up with the rest of the fresh salmon. As everyone enjoyed
the fish, the maid summoned the hostess into the kitchen again.
“Ma’am, the cat’s dead,” she said.
In a panic, the hostess told her guests and suggested they all go to
hospital to check they were not affected by the bad salmon.
Returning home after a long and expensive trip to the hospital, the
woman asked the maid where she had put the cat. “Nowhere, Ma’am.
It is still out on the street where the car hit it.”
