Dear Webby's Joke of the Day
Jim was just falling off to sleep when his wife nudged him and said the telephone was ringing. At this hour, it was probably for him, she said, closing her eyes. Jim rolled out of bed and trundled downstairs.

She crawled out of bed and pulled on a robe. Then he added, "It was a wrong number."
