A carpet layer had just finished installing carpet for a residence, and was just about done for the day. He
stepped out for a smoke, only to realize hed lost his cigarettes.He went back in to look for them, and noticed in the middle of the room, under the carpet, was a bump. No sense pulling up the entire floor for one pack of smokes, he said to himself. He proceeded to get out his hammer and flattened the hump.As he was cleaning up, the woman who owned the house came in. Here, she said, handling him his pack of cigarettes. I found these in the hallway.Now, she said, if only I could find my parakeet!
