Gimme Back My Bullets
Posted by: <@...>
A couple came to the police department, wanting to dispose of some
ammunition.
They handed the desk officer a wooden box and explained that it contained
two bullets an uncle had given them as souvenirs from World War II.
"We didn't know what to do with them," the woman explained. "So, all
these years, we've kept the bullets in the bottom drawer of the china
cabinet, away from our children."
The officer assured the couple he'd dispose of the bullets safely, but
when he took one out of the box the top came off, revealing a strange
black substance.
His suspicion aroused, the officer removed the top of the other bullet and
found a hard white substance.
There was no doubt about it.
The bullets were souvenir salt and pepper shakers.

The Persistent Pup
I'm a police officer and occasionally park my cruiser in residential areas
to watch for speeders.
One Sunday morning I was staked out in a driveway when I saw a large dog
trot up to my car.
He stopped and sat just out of arm's reach.
No matter how much I tried to coax him to come for a pat on the head, he
refused to budge.
After a while, I decided to move to another location.
I pulled out of the driveway, looked back, and learned the reason for the
dog's stubbornness - he quickly picked up the newspaper I'd been parked
over and dutifully ran back to his master.
