One day Fred didn't show up. Bob didn't think much about it and figured maybe he had a cold or something. But after Fred hadn't shown up for a week or so, Bob really got worried.
However, since the only time they ever got together was at the park, Bob didn't know where Fred lived, so he was unable to find out what had happened to him.
A month had passed, and Bob figured he had seen the last of Fred, but one day, Bob approached the park and -- lo and behold -- there sat Fred!
Bob was very excited and happy to see him and told him so.
Then he said, “For crying out loud Fred, what in the world happened to you?”
Fred replied, “I have been in jail.”
“Jail!” cried Bob. “What in the world for?”
“Well,” Fred said, “you know Jane, that cute little blonde waitress at the coffee shop where I sometimes go?”
“Yeah,” said Bob, “I remember her. What about her?”
“Well, one day she filed rape charges against me; and, at 95 years old, I was so proud that when I got into court, I pleaded guilty.”
“The damn judge gave me 30 days for perjury.”
