SHORT STUCK

A man was walking home from a long night at his local pub, and drunkenly decided to take a shortcut down a side street. He soon came to a fork in the street but couldn't remember which way would take him home so, he decided to take the left fork. Half an hour later he found he was lost. Feeling dizzy, he decided to rest a while and sat, then lay down on the pavement. His back soon ached, however, and he noticed it was softer further on, so he staggered up and lay down on the softer part of the pavement. A few hours later, he woke up and discovered he couldn't move. He looked around and realised that he was lying in a patch of cement - the cement had set while he slept. He spent the night unable to move and too embarrassed to shout for help. In the morning, eight hours later, the workmen came and chiselled him out. He was lucky it wasn't the weekend.
