[This is a rerun from 20 years ago, but as the wife and I get older, it seems to age well. It was used on RFD TV’s “Larry’s Country Diner” just a week ago and reminded me that I had sent this joke to my friends two decades back.]
An elderly couple who were childhood sweethearts had married and settled down in their old neighborhood. To celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary they walked down to their old school. There, they held hands as they found the desk they shared and where he had carved their initials.
On their way back home, a bag of money fell out of an armored car practically at their feet. She quickly picked it up and, not knowing what to do with it, they took it home. There, she counted the money - $50,000 - and the husband said, "We've got to give it back".
She replied, "Finders keepers" and put the money back in the bag and hid it among the boxes in the attic.
The next day, two FBI agents who were going from door-to-door in the neighborhood looking for the money show up at their home. One knocked on the door and asks, "Pardon me, but did either of you find any money that fell out of an armored car yesterday?"
Immediately she said, "No".
The husband said: "She's lying. She hid it up in the attic."
"Don't believe him, he's getting senile."
But the agents sat the man down and began to question him. "Tell us the story from the beginning."
The old man begins, "Well, when Sally and I were walking home from school yesterday ..."
At this, the FBI agent glanced at his partner and concluded, "We're outta here ..."
