Question

It was a rainy evening. A man didn’t take his umbrella, so he wanted to call his wife to tell her he would go home late. Then he called home, however, the maid(女仆) answered the phone instead of his wife.

He said, “Can I speak to my wife?”

The maid replied, “Sorry，she’s upstairs with her boyfriend.”

He was surprised and at once very angry. He shouted, “Hurry up, go to the hall closet and take out my shotgun.”

The maid asked in surprise, “What do you need me to do?”

The man shouted crazily, “Go upstairs and kill them both.”

The maid said, “But I have never killed a man before.” Being the loyal maid, she says, “OK!”

Five minutes later, the maid picked up the phone and said, “OK，I follow your order. They are both dead now. ___________________” The man said, “Throw them into the pool, and I will take care of them when I get home. ”

“But we don’t have a pool.” the maid said.

Immediately, the terrible yells came from the house.
