A man answers the doorbell in his high-rise building apartment and sees his beautiful neighbor, clearly distressed.

"I locked myself out!" she says, "I was taking the trash out and forgot to take the keys. My dog and cat are inside. They must be freaking out!"

"How can I help?"

"I'm pretty sure my balcony is unlocked..."

"Ah, OK, then go through my apartment and climb over the balcony to yours."

"I can't do that, I'm claustrophobic!"

"Claustrophobia is a fear of confined places. Where exactly are confined places on the balcony?"

"In the coffin! The coffin is extremely confined!"
