Burglars broke into a house, dragged a couple from their bed and tied them, back to back, to two chairs while they helped themselves to their valuables.

As the burglars where about to leave, the man called out:
"Would you untie her before you go?"

"No way" said one of the burglars. "You'd have the police on us before we were out of the neighbourhood".

"Please" he continued "it's really important".

"Look," said the burglar "we'll put in an anonymous call in a couple of hours and someone will arrive to let you go".

"No, NO!" be said, becoming more and more excited. "You have to let her go. I promise she won"t call the cops".

"I must admit" said the burglar "you must really love your wife to do all this pleading".

"You don't understand" shouted the man. "She'll be home in half an hour!"
