Three men were sitting on a bench in the park.The middle one was reading a newspaper, and
the others were pretending to fish. They baitedimaginary hooks, cast lines and reeled in their
catch. A passing policeman stopped to watchthe spectacle and asked the man in the middle
if he knew the other two. “Oh, yes,they’re my friends!”“In that case,” the police officer warned him,
“you had better get them out of here.”“Yes, Sir!” the man replied, andhe began rowing furiously.
