Here I am at the edge

  Joe's Resignation . Joe West was sitting in his garden admiring the bees at work when his wife called him, "Joe, it's Roger from the club. He wants to have a word with you." Joe eased his tired body out of the deckchair and ambled across the garden to the door to his kitchen; as he passed his wife, Mabel, he gave her a hug and a kiss and said, "I have an idea what this is about love." He went into the kitchen and picked the receiver off the table where Mabel had left it, "Hello, Roger, what's on your mind today?"
