Larry and Bob, two friends, met in the park
every day to feed the
pigeons, watch the squirrels and discuss world
problems. One day Larry
didn't show up. Bob didn't think much
about it and figured maybe he had a
cold or something.*
But after Larry hadn't shown up for a week or
so, Bob really got
worried. However, since the only time they ever got
together was at the
park, Bob didn't know where Larry lived, so he was
unable to find out what
had happened to him. A month had
passed, and Bob figured he had seen the
last of Larry, but one day,
Bob approached the park and lo and behold there
sat Larry! *
*Bob was very excited and happy to see him and told him so.
*
*Then he said, ″For crying out loud Larry, what in
the world happened to
you?" Larry replied, ″I have been in
jail″. ″Jail!" cried Bob. ″What
in the world for?"
″Well″, Larry said, ″you know Jane, that cute little
blonde waitress
at the coffee shop where I sometimes go?" ″Yeah″, said
Bob,
″I remember her. What about her?" ″Well, one day she filed
rape
charges against me; and, at 89 years old, I was so proud that
when I got
into court, I pleaded ″guilty″″ ″The damn judge
gave me 30 days for
perjury″.*
