Small Town Justice

"When Should I Plant The Lettuce?"

A prisoner in jail received a letter from his wife:

"I have decided to plant some lettuce in the back
garden. When is the best time to plant them?"

The prisoner, knowing that the prison guards
read all the mail, replied in a letter:

"Dear Wife, whatever you do, DO NOT touch the
back garden! That is where I hid all the gold."

A week or so later, he received another letter
from his wife:

"You wouldn't believe what happened. Some
men came with shovels to the house, and dug
up the whole back garden."

The prisoner wrote another letter:

"Dear wife, NOW is the best time to plant the lettuce!"

"Small Town Justice"

A police officer in a small town stopped a motorist
who was speeding down Main Street.

"But officer," the man said, "I can explain."

"Just be quiet!!!" snapped the officer. "...or I'm going
to let you cool off in jail until the chief gets back."

"But officer, I just wanted to say...."

"And I said KEEP QUIET! You're going to jail!"

A few hours later, the officer checked up on his
prisoner and said, "Lucky for you that the chief's
at his daughter's wedding. He'll be in a good
mood when he gets back."

"Don't count on it," said the man in the cell,
"I'm the groom!"
