PoppaGringo and Slatten, two friends, met in the park every day to feed the pigeons, watch the squirrels and discuss world problems.

One day PoppaGringo didn't show up. Slatten didn't think much about it and figured maybe he had a cold or something. But after PoppaGringo hadn't shown up for a week or so, Slatten really got worried. However, since the only time they ever got together was at the park, Slatten didn’t know where Poppagringo lived, so he was unable to find out what had happened to him.

A month had passed, and Slatten figured he had seen the last of Poppagringo,but one day, Slatten approached the park and lo and behold!--there sat PoppaGringo! Slatten was very excited and happy to see him and told him so. Then he said, “For crying out loud Poppagringo, what in the world happened to you?"

PoppaGringo replied, "I've been in jail.”

"Jail!" cried Slatten. “What in the world for?"

“Well”, PoppaGringosaid, “you know that cute little blonde waitress at the coffee shop where I sometimes go?"

"Yeah”, said Slatten, “I remember her. She is a cutie! What about her?”

“Well, the little gold-digging huzzie figured I was rich and she filed rape charges against me; and, at 84 years old, I was so proud that when I got into court, I pleaded 'guilty'."

“The judge gave me 30 days for perjury."
