Where's Bill?

Bill and Sam, two “senior” seniors, met in the neighborhood park every day to feed the pigeons, watch the squirrels and discuss world problems.

One day Bill didn't show up. Sam didn't think much about it; he thought Bill had a cold or virus.

After Bill hadn't shown up for a week or so, Sam really was worried. Since the only time they ever got together was at the park, Sam didn't know where Bill lived; he was unable to find out what had happened to him. A month had passed and Sam decided he had seen the last of Bill.

Some time after, Sam approached the park; lo and behold, there sat Bill. Sam was very excited and happy to see him and told him so.

Then he said, "For crying out loud Bill, what in the world happened to you?"

Bill replied, "I've been in jail."

"Jail?" cried Sam. "What in the world for?"

"Well," Bill said, "you know Sue, that cute little blonde waitress at the coffee shop where we sometimes get coffee?"

"Yeah" said Sam, "I remember her. What about her?"

"Well, one day she charged me with rape; I was so proud, that when I got into court, I pled ‘guilty’; that sorry Judge gave me 30 days for perjury."
