Day Brightener – Justice

Bench 2Jim and Bob, two friends, met in the park every day to feed the pigeons, watch the squirrels and discuss world problems.

One day Jim didn’t show up. Bob didn’t think much about it and figured maybe he had a cold or something.. But after Jim 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 Jim 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 Jim, but one day Bob approached the park and– lo and behold!–there sat Jim! Bob was very excited and happy to see him and told him so.

Then he said, ‘For crying out loud Jim, what in the world happened to you?’

Jim replied, ‘I have been in jail.’

‘Jail!’ cried Bob. What in the world for?

‘Well,’ Jim said, ‘you know Sue, that cute little blonde waitress at the coffee shop where I sometimes go?

‘Yeah,’ said Bob, ‘I remember her….. What about her?

‘Well, the little gold-digging witch figured I was rich and 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 judge gave me 30 days for perjury.’
