Faulty Furniture??? By Phil Jones
Riddle: “Did they bring it? Did they bring it? Did they bring it?” asked Mr. McCue excitedly. “If you’re talking about your precious piece of furniture — yes, they did bring it while you were at work,” responded his wife in an irritable fashion. “Well, where is it?” asked Mr. McCue impatiently. “I told the delivery guys to take it back,” replied Mrs. McCue. “What!!! Why on earth did you refuse the delivery!?” Said her husband angrily. “For three reasons,” explained his wife. “Number one: it was so big, and heavy, and clunky. Number two: the rug on it was green, but our carpet is red, so the colors clash. Number three (and this is the main reason I sent it back): It had six large holes in it, and I wasn’t about to accept delivery of damaged merchandise which you had told me cost us a lot of money,” stated Mrs. McCue logically. “But it was meant to be that way!!!” shouted her husband. What was the piece of furniture Mr. and Mrs. McCue were discussing?
Answer: A new pool table.
