Pete and Sidney,
retired friends, met in the park every day to feed the
pigeons, torment the squirrels, and solve the world’s problems.
One day Pete didn't
show up.
A month had passed,
and Sidney figured he had seen the last of Pete,
but one day, Sidney approached the park and, lo and behold, there sat
Pete!
Sidney was very
excited and happy to see him and told him so. Then he
said, 'For crying out loud Pete, what in the world happened to you?'
Pete replied, 'I have
been in jail.'
'Jail!' cried Sidney.
What in the world for?'
'Well,' Pete said,
'you know Lily, that cute little blonde waitress at the coffee shop
where I sometimes go?'
'Yeah,' said Sidney,
'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 pled 'guilty; the gol-dang judge gave me 30 days for
perjury!'
