OF BOUNDS
By Rick Colvin Nobody Believes Old People: An elderly couple who were childhood sweethearts had married and settled down in their old neighborhood and are celebrating their sixtieth anniversary. They walk down the street to their old school. There, they hold hands as they find the old desk they had shared and where he had carved “I love you, Sally.” On their way back home, a bag of money falls out of an armored car practically at their feet. She quickly picks it up, but they don’t know what to do with it so they take it home. There, they count the money and it adds up to fifty thousand dollars. The husband says, “We have to give it back.” She says, “Finders, keepers” and puts the money back in the bag and hides it in the attic. The next day, two FBI men are going door to door in the neighborhood looking for the money and knock on their door. “Pardon me,” says one of the agents, “Did either of you happen to find any money that fell out of an armored car yesterday?” “No,” she says. “She’s lying,” says the husband. “She hid it up in the attic.” She says, “Don’t believe him, he’s getting senile.” The agents sit the old man down and begin to question him. “Why don’t you tell us the story from the beginning,” says one of the agents. The old man begins to tell the story, “Well, when Sally and I were walking home from school yesterday ……” Both agents, “We’re outta here!” Parking Problem Paddy was driving down the street in a sweat because he had an important meeting and couldn’t find a parking spot. Looking up to heaven he said, “Lord take pity on me. If you find me a parking place I will go to mass every Sunday for the rest of my life and I’ll give up me Irish Whiskey.” Miraculously, a parking place appeared. Paddy
looked up again and said, “Never mind, I found one.”
