Ross and Sam, two friends, met in the park of Baton Rouge every day to feed the pigeons, watch the squirrels and discuss world problems.
One day Ross didn't show up.
Sam didn't think much about it and figured
maybe he had a cold or something.
But after Ross 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 Ross 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 Ross, but one day,
Sam approached the park and-- lo and behold!--there sat Ross!
Sam was very excited and happy to see him and told him so.
Then he said, 'For crying out loud Ross, what in the world happened to you?'
Ross replied, 'I have been in jail.'
'Jail' cried Sam. 'What in the world for?'
'Well' Ross said, 'you know Annie-Lee, that cute little blonde waitress at the coffee shop where I sometimes go ?
'Yeah,' said Sam, 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 judge gave me 30 days for perjury.'
