Pulled over at 2 a.m.
Ron Chester, 89 years of age, was stopped by the police around 2 a.m. He was asked where he was going at that time of day.
Ron replied, “I’m on my way to a lecture about alcohol abuse and the effects it has only the human body, as well as smoking and staying out late.”
The officer asked, “Really? Who’s giving that lecture at this time of night?”
Ron replied, “That would be my wife.”
Birdie with a yellow bill, hopped upon my window sill, cocked a shining eye and says, “What did you do when you sat on the basket..bawl???” Bee Boop!
