Dad and Dave, having made some serious money with booming wool prices, decided to spend a bit of the proceeds down in the Big Smoke. They booked into their hotel, a commodious Edwardian pile not far from the CBD. They repaired to the saloon bar for a quite a few jugs, and continued DRINKING well into the evening.
Finally they retired to their room with its huge four-poster. Soon snores filled the room. Suddenly Dad woke up, shook his recumbent son and shouted, 'Dave, wake up! I'm as thirsty as buggery. Nip down to the bathroom, there's a good lad, and bring me back a glass of water.' Dave did as he was bidden and came back with a brimming tumbler. Dad gulped it in one swallow and said, 'Geez, that's better - now for a bit more shut-eye.
After an hour or so he woke again and made the same request of Dave. The procedure was repeated several more times. But on the last occasion Dave returned without the water.
'Where's me drink, son?'
'Gee Dad, I'm sorry,' Dave replied, 'but when I went down to the bathroom, I couldn't get any. Some silly old GUY was sitting on the water supply.'
