[This is a rerun from 20 years ago, but as the wife and I get older, =
it seems to age well. It was used on RFD TV’s =
“Larry’s Country Diner” just a week ago and reminded =
me that I had sent this joke to my friends two decades =
back.]
An elderly couple who were childhood sweethearts had married and =
settled down in their old neighborhood. To celebrate their 50th wedding =
anniversary they walked down to their old school. There, they held hands =
as they found the desk they shared and where he had carved their =
initials.
On their way back home, a bag of money fell out of an armored car =
practically at their feet. She quickly picked it up and, not knowing =
what to do with it, they took it home. There, she counted the money – =
$50,000 – and the husband said, "We’ve got to give it =
back".
She replied, "Finders keepers" and put the money back in the =
bag and hid it among the boxes in the attic.
The next day, two FBI agents who were going from door-to-door in the =
neighborhood looking for the money show up at their home. One knocked on =
the door and asks, "Pardon me, but did either of you find any money =
that fell out of an armored car yesterday?" =
Immediately she said, "No".
The husband said: "She’s lying. She hid it up in the attic." =
"Don’t believe him, he’s getting senile." =
But the agents sat the man down and began to question him. "Tell =
us the story from the beginning."
The old man begins, "Well, when Sally and I were walking home =
from school yesterday …"
At this, the FBI agent glanced at his partner and concluded, =
"We’re outta here …"
