HAPPY ANNIVERSARY,
MR. AND MRS. JUST!
Grandma and Grandpa were celebrating their fifty-fourth anniversary.
The couple had married as childhood sweethearts
and had moved back to their old neighbourhood after they retired.
Holding hands, they walked back to their old school.
It was not locked, so they entered,
and found the old desk they'd shared,
where Andy had carved "I love you, Sally."
On their way back home, a bag of money
fell out of an armoured car, practically landing at their feet.
Sally quickly picked it up and,
not sure what to do with it, they took it home.
There, she counted the money -
fifty thousand dollars!
Andy said, "We've got to give it back."
Sally said, "Finders keepers."
She put the money back in the bag
and hid it in their attic.
The next day, two police officers
were canvassing the neighborhood looking for the money,
and knocked on their door.
"Pardon me, did either of you find a bag
that fell out of an armoured car yesterday?"
Sally said, "No".
Andy said, "She's lying. She hid it up in the attic.
Sally said, "Don't believe him, he's getting senile."
The agents turned to Andy and began to question him.
One said: "Tell us the story from the beginning."
Andy said, "Well, when Sally and I
were walking home from school yesterday . . ."
The first police officer turned to his partner and said,
"We're outta here!"
Mr. + Mrs. Just
