With Pride

"Changing an Address"

It was a typically busy day at the bank. After a glance
at the line of waiting customers, a harried-looking
man came up to the side counter and demanded,
"What do I have to do to change the address on
my account?"

Without missing a beat, the clerk replied, "Move."

"With Pride"

Two elderly friends, Jack and Tom, met in the
park every day to feed the pigeons, watch the
squirrels and discuss world problems.

One day Jack didn't show up. Tom didn't think
much about it and figured maybe he had a cold
or something.

But after Jack hadn't shown up for a week or so,
Tom got worried. Unfortunately he didn't know
where Jack lived, so he was unable to find out
what had happened to him.

After a month passed, Tom figured he had seen
the last of Jack, but one day, Tom approached
the park and -- lo and behold there sat Jack !
Tom, excited and happy, said how glad he was to
see him, then blurted out, "For crying out loud,
what on earth happened to you?"

"I've been in jail," Jack said, with some embarrassment.

"Jail?" cried Tom. "What in the world for?"

"Well," Jack said, "you know Marilyn , that cute
little blonde waitress at the coffee shop where
we sometimes go?"

"Yeah," said Tom, "I remember her. What about her?"

"Well, one day she filed rape charges against me
and, at 89 years old, I was so proud that when I
got into court, I pleaded 'guilty'.

"And you were convicted of rape?", asked Tom, stunned.

Jack replied, "No, the judge gave me thirty days for perjury."
