A squad car driver was covering a quiet beat out in the sticks when he was
amazed to find a former lieutenant on the police force also covering the
beat.
He stopped the car and asked, “Why, Mike, this wouldn’t be your new beat out
here in the sticks, would it?”
“That it is,” Mike replied grimly, “ever since I arrested the judge on his
way to the masquerade ball.”
“You mean you pinched his honor?” asked Pat.
“How was I to know that his convict suit was only a costume?” demanded Mike.
“Well,” mused Pat, “there’s a lesson in this somewhere.”
“That there is,” replied Mike. “It’s never wise to book a judge by his
cover.”
