John and Sir

Sir is comfortably installed in an armchair in the library, reading a newspaper.

Suddenly, John rips the door open and shouts: "Sir, the Thames is flooding the streets!"

Sir looks up calmly from the newspaper and says: "John, please. I have already told you. If you do have something important to tell me, first knock on the door, then enter and inform me, in a quiet and civilized manner, about the issue. Now please, do so".

John apologizes and closes the door behind him. Three seconds after, Sir hears a knock on the door.

"Yes?"

John partially enters the room, and with a wide gesture makes an invitation as for somebody on the outside to enter: "Sir, the Thames".

Tell me another Joke!
