The
Skeleton
A very large, old, building was being torn down in Chicago
to make room for a new skyscraper. Due to its proximity to other buildings it
could not be imploded and had to be dismantled floor by floor.
While
working on the 49th floor, two construction workers found a skeleton in a small
closet behind the elevator shaft. They decided that they should call the police.
When the police arrived they directed them to the closet and showed them the skeleton
fully clothed and standing upright. They said, "This could be Jimmy Hoffa or somebody
really important."
Two days went by and the construction workers couldn't
stand it any more, they had to know who they had found. They called the police
and said, "We are the two guys who found the skeleton in the closet and we want
to know if it was Jimmy Hoffa or somebody important."
The police said,
"It's not Jimmy Hoffa, but it was somebody kind of important."
"Well,
who was it?"
"The 1956 Blonde National Hide-and-Seek Champion."
