A carpet installer was laying new living room carpeting in a large mansion. After
laboriously pulling, stretching, and tacking the carpet, he finally finished, and
gratefully sat back to enjoy a cigarette.
Reaching into his shirt pocket, however, he found that his cigarettes were gone, and
looking toward the center of the room, he saw a bulge the size of a cigarette pack under
the new carpeting. He of course had no intention of pulling up the carpet, so instead he
took a large mallet, and he pounded the lump flat, so it could not be seen.
He then hopped in his truck and headed back to the office. On the way, he found his
cigarettes in the glove compartment.
Just then his cellular telephone rang. When he answered it, he discovered it was the
dispatcher from his office. The dispatcher said that the homeowner had just called them in
a terrible panic.
It seems their son's favorite pet hamster was missing.
Had the carpet layer seen the hamster while he was in the house?
