A GOOD IDEA

Wilson was so upset that I let him sleep in my bed last night. 

He sobbed himself to sleep, and as I drifted off I resolved to phone the vet in the morning to enquire about grief counselling for him.


Suddenly at around 2 am I felt something poking into my ear — it was the tip of W's snout as he whispered loudly, 'New Dad! Are you awake, New Dad?'


Rousing myself to full wakefulness, I replied, 'What? What's the matter? Are you alright?'


'I didn't wake you, did I?' he asked. 'Well never mind, because I've just had a good idea!'


On past experience, a 'Brilliant' idea is a plan that might (but sadly, won't) make him rich and famous, while a 'Good' idea is some labour-saving wheeze or plan for the general good of mankind...
