Two Old Coots

[Karl/Pa.]

Two very elderly friends, Daniel and Gary, met in the park every day to feed the pigeons, watch the squirrels and discuss world problems. One day Gary didn't show up. Daniel didn't think much about it, figured maybe he had a cold or some such.

But after Gary, hadn't shown up for a week or so Daniel, really got worried. However, the only time they ever got together anymore (they used to play a lot of golf together) was at the park, and Daniel, couldn't remember where Gary, lived so he was unable to find out what had happened to him. A month passed and Daniel, figured old Gary had gone to his heavenly reward, but one day Daniel approached the park and, lo and behold, there sat Gary!

Daniel, was very excited and happy to see him and told him so! Then he said, "For crying out loud Gary, what happened to you?" Gary, replied, "I have been in jail." "Jail???," cried Daniel!! "What in the world for???" "Well," Gary said, "You know Sue, that cute little blonde waitress at the coffee shop where we sometimes get coffee?" "Yeah" said Daniel, "I remember her. What about her?"

"Well one day last month she got mad at me and to get even, she charged me with rape. I was so proud of what everyone would think an old fart like me could still do, that when I got into court, I pled 'Guilty'. The judge then took a good look at me and gave me 30 days for perjury."
