Ron and Jerry, two elderly friends, met in the park every day to feed the pigeons, watch the squirrels and discuss world problems.
One day Ron didn't show up. Jerry wasn't concerned; he thought Ron might have a cold or some urgent appointment. But after Ron hadn't shown up for a week or so, Jerry really got worried. However, since Jerry didn't know where Ron lived (the only time they ever got together was at the park) he was unable to find out what had happened to him.
After a month had passed, Jerry figured he had seen the last of Ron.
On his next visit to the park, however, Ron was sitting on their usual bench waiting for him. Amazed and delighted, Jerry exclaimed, ''for crying out loud Ron, what in the world happened to you?''
Ron replied, ''I've been in jail.''
''Jail?'' cried Jerry. ''You? What on earth for?''
''Well,'' Ron said. ''You know Sue, that cute little blonde waitress at the coffee shop where I sometimes go?''
''Yes,'' said Jerry. ''I remember. 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.'
