Two elderly friends, Andy and Harold, met in the park every day to feed the pigeons, watch the squirrels and discuss world problems.
One day, Harold didn't show up. Andy didn't think much about it; he figured that, maybe, Harold had a cold or some such thing. But after Harold hadn't shown up for more than a week, Andy got worried. However, since the only time they ever got together was at the park, Andy didn't know where Harold lived. Therefore, Andy was unable to contact him to try to find out why he hadn't been coming to the park.
After a month had passed, Andy figured that Harold must have died. But, as Andy entered the park a few days later, lo and behold, there sat Harold. Andy was very excited and happy to see him and told him so! Then he said, "For crying out loud Harold, what in the world happened to you?"
Harold replied, "I have been in jail."
"Jail," cried Andy! "What in the world for?"
Harold replied, "Well, you know Sue, that cute little blond waitress at the Pancake House where we get coffee?"
"Yeah," said Andy, "I remember her. What about her?"
"Well, she charged me with rape, and I was so proud that when I got into court, I said "guilty as charged".
The judge gave me 30 days for perjury."
