A man is just about to get a CD out of a cabinet when the

>”Hello,” says the man answering it.
>
>”Hi,” says a high woman’s voice. “This is Tiffany the
>housekeeper.”
>
>”Oh,” says the man. “Hi Tiffany.”
>
>”Hi, Mr. Birschman. Sorry to call so late. I figured you’d
>be back later, so I planned to leave a message. You see, I
>had a problem when I was cleaning the bedroom.”
>
>”What sort of a problem?”
>
>”Well, when I was trying to make your bed, your envelope of
>emergency money, you know, the one you keep under the
>matress, it fell out.”
>
>”Well, what’s the problem, Tiffany?”
>
>”Well, I wasn’t sure just where to put it back, so I just
>put it under the bottom left corner. Is that okay?”
>
>”Yes. Thank you for telling me that, Tiffany. I appreciate
>it.”
>
>”Oh, also, when I was vacuuming the living room, I found
>that diamond ring you’ve been missing.”
>
>”That’s wonderful, Tiffany! By the way, where did you put
>it?”
>
>”In the jewelry box on the dresser, of course!”
>
>”And how did you lock it?”
>
>”First I turned the key to the right, then I pulled it out
>and tried the top to make sure it was locked,” says the
>housekeeper, revealing how well she remembered his
>instructions.
>
>”Good! And where did you put the key?”
>
>”In the top right cabinet in the kitchen, under the good
>china.”
>
>”Fantastic!” says the man, impressed.
>
>”Oh, and I took the courtesy of wrapping the keys to the
>Porsche in that adorable little box. I know your wife is
>going to be so surprised.”
>
>”Stupendous. Thank you so much, Tiffany. You are really a
>great housekeeper.”
>
>”Thank you, Mr. Birschman, and have a nice night.”
>
>”You too, Tiffany. Good night.”
>
>The man hangs up the phone, turns to his buddy, and says
>with a grin, “This is going to be the easiest robbery ever!”
