> However, since Sam didn't know where Bill lived (the only time they

> After a month had passed, Sam figured he had seen the last of Bill.

> On his next visit to the park, however, Bill was sitting on their usual

> Amazed and delighted, Sam exclaimed,

> 'For crying out loud Bill, what in the world happened to you?'
> 
> Bill replied, 'I've been in Gaol.'
> 
> 'Gaol?' cried Sam. 'You?! What on earth for?'
> 
> 'Well,' Bill said, 'you know Sue , that cute little blonde waitress at
> the coffee shop where I sometimes go?'
> 
> 'Yes,' said Sam, 'I remember her. What about her?'
> 
> 'Well, one day she filed rape charges against me. At age 89, I was so
> proud that when I got into court, I pleaded 'guilty.'
> 
> 
> 'The judge gave me 30 days for perjury.'
