Overheard

Joseph was in the entry hall taking off his snow clothes when the doorbell rang.
"Matthew!" Joseph said in an annoyed voice, "Just come in!"
The doorbell rang again.
Joseph opened the door and in his best Jeeves voice said, "Yes, Sir."
"Hello, I'm fire. I've come to burn down the house," said Matthew.
Joseph, continuing in his Jeeves voice. "As you see, we have a large supply of water for putting out fires and also we have twelve fire extinguishers right over here."
"Well, then, I want to flood your house," tried Matthew.
"Sorry, sir. To keep away floods, we have a large supply of fire, and if there is a flood, we simply put the fire in the water and turn all the water into steam. And then we open the door and let all the steam out."
