A very large, old, building was being torn
down in Chicago to make room for a new skyscraper. Due to its proximity to other buildings
it could not be imploded and had to be dismantled floor by floor.
While working on the 49th floor, two
construction workers found a skeleton in a small closet behind the elevator shaft. They
decided that they should call the police. When the police arrived they directed them to
the closet and showed them the skeleton fully clothed and standing upright. They said,
"This could be Jimmy Hoffa or somebody really important."
Two days went by and the construction
workers couldn't stand it any more, they had to know who they had found. They called the
police and said, "We are the two guys who found the skeleton in the closet and we
want to know if it was Jimmy Hoffa or somebody important."
The police said, "It's not Jimmy
Hoffa, but it was somebody kind of important."
"Well, who was it?"
"The 1956 Blonde National
Hide-and-Seek Champion."
