Baby = Clock There was an expectant father who had spent quite some time
waiting for the offspring to arrive - at his in-laws place.
As his leave balance had gone into the red, he tells his
father-in-law - " When my son comes, do not call up office and
say that I have become a father of a boy, etc. otherwise I'll have
to shell out a lot for parties etc. Just tell me that the clock
has arrived. This will be our code for the arrival of the baby."
The offspring does arrive one day, but it's a daughter. The
father-in-law now thinks - "If I tell him that the clock has not
arrived, he'll misunderstand that some thing has happened to
the baby and come rushing over."
So he sends the message - " The clock has arrived, but the
pendulum is missing".
