: ...and I really don't mean any offence.... (and this is set in the UK, so don't get all picky on me...)
A Jewsih father was getting really really worried as it wa getting late and his son had yet to return from school.
At last the door slammed and little Heimie entered the house, covered in sweat and out of breath.
"Oy, tell me, why is it that you are so late home from school, Heimie? Your pappa has been so worried...."
"Pappa, pappa, I had such a good idea!"
"Tell me, Heimie... What is such a good idea that you frighten an old man so?"
"Pappa, every day I ride the bus to school and I pay £1.50. In the afternoon I ride home in the bus and I pay £1.50... So this afternoon I decided to run home behind the bus, so I have saved £1.50. Aren't you pleased, pappa?"
Poor Heimie was mortified when, instead of acting pleased, his father gave him a sound slap on the face.
"Next time, Heimie, run home behind a taxi!"
