(Punch comes home. Judy, his wife, kisses him and asks about his day.) Judy: How was your day at work , darl? Punch: Not a good day, sweetie… Judy: And why was that, Punch? Punch: Oh, the Boss is just overbearing Judy: What did he do this time, sweetie? Punch: Oh well, he comes in to my table this morning, right, and he asks me: “Punch, do you believe in the after-life?” An odd question to ask, you’d agree… Anyway I say: “I do, Mr Blake – I do believe in the after-life.” And he says: “Oh, I’m glad you do…” And he continues: “Yesterday you asked to go home at noon You said your grandpa died And guess what? – 4 hours after you left a man claiming to be your grandpa came here looking for you Said he was in in the vicinity and he might walk home back with you There’s sure such a thing as after-life, Punch!” And all day Mr Blake was having a go at me about ghosts And all my colleagues too, they were going: “BOO!” at every chance they got… Oh, what an embarrassing day… Judy: Oh, so you lied to get a half-day off, Punch? And where were you? You didn’t come home early yesterday… Doesn’t look like your day is over, Punch… Certainly not a good day!
