The Governess

The attractive young governess, with her small charge in tow, left the park to visit her boyfriend at his apartment. The couple embraced fondly and longed for intimacy, but there seemed to be little they could do with the child watching.

Then the governess hit upon an idea.

"Tommy," she said to her small charge, "go look out that window and I will give you a dime for every hat you see!"

Delighted with the new game, Tommy ran to the window and stared intently at the passersby below.

Almost a minute passed before Tommy's voice popped up with "I see a red hat!"

"That's nice," came the governess' muffled reply through the open bedroom door.

"There's another one!" said the boy a short time later.

"Keep counting," the woman managed to say.

"Oh, governess!" Tommy exclaimed suddenly.

"What now?" she asked, breathing heavily.

"I just wanted to tell you that this is going to be the most expensive roll in the hay you've ever had, 'cause here comes a Shriners' parade!"
