“Good morning, sir.”
“Eeeuurrrgh. Alfred?”
“You seem out of sorts. There is, however, a pressing issue which may require your attention.”
“Errr -what? Attention?” Sploosh! ….”Why am I wet?”
“Well, sir, the cave seems to be experiencing an excess amount of water.”
“It’s a cave, Alfred. It has water. …Probably not this much.”
“Precisely, sir.”
“We’ve got to get out! What happened?”
“Do you recall that female companion you entertained last week?
“…No.”
“Saturday?”
…..
“Charity dinner?”
“The blonde?”
“Precisely, sir!”
“Well?”
“I believe, after the young lady stayed the night, that she left the faucet running.”

Ha, ha! Best title for a bat cave story, which had me snickering at the idea of a befuddle Batman and a no-nonsesnse Alfred! Brilliant, Chelsea!
