There was an expectant father who had spent quite some time waiting for the offspring to arrive - at his in-laws place He was absolutely positive that his wife was going to present him with a boy and wouldn`t hear of anything else As his leave balance had gone into the red he told his father-in-law When my son comes do not call up office and say that I have become a father of a boy Then I`ll have to shell out a lot for parties etc Just tell me that the clock has arrived This will be our code for the arrival of my son The offspring does arrive one day but it`s a daughter The father-in-law now thinks If I tell him that the clock has not arrived he`ll misunderstand that some thing has happened to the baby and come rushing over So he sends the message The clock has arrived but the pendulum is missing
