Bill and Sam, two
elder
ly friends, met in the park every day
to feed the pigeons, watch the squirrels
and discuss world
problems.


One day Bill
didn't show up. Sam didn't think much about it
and figured maybe he had a cold or something.
But after Bill hadn't shown up for a week or so,
Sam really got worried. However, since the only
time they ever got together was at the park, Sam
didn't know where Bill lived, so he was unable
to find out what had happened to
him.


A month had passed, and Sam figured he had seen
the last of Bill. But one day, Sam approached
the park and -- lo and behold! --there sat Bill!
Sam was very excited and happy to see him and
told him so. Then he said, 'For crying out loud
Bill, what in the world happened to you?'

Bill replied, 'I have been in jail.'

'Jail?' cried Sam. 'What in the world for?'

'Well,' Bill said, 'you know Mary, that cute little blonde
waitress at the coffee shop where I sometime go?'

'Yeah,' said Sam, 'I
remember her. What about her?'

'Well, she filed rape charges
against me; and, at 89 years old, I was so
proud that when I got into court
- I pled 'guilty.'

'The damn judge gave me 30 days for perjury.
