Apparent;y Senility has its Advantages

An elderly couple who were childhood sweethearts had married and settled down in their old neighborhood and were celebrating their fiftieth wedding anniversary.

They walked down the street to their old school. There they held hands as they found the old desk they'd shared and where he had carved "I love you, Sally." On their way back home, a bag of money fell out of an armored car practically at their feet.

She quickly picked it up, but they didn't know what to do with it so they took it home. There, she counted the money, and there was fifty thousand dollars from the bag.

The husband said, "We've got to give it back." She said, "Finders keepers, losers weepers." After which she put the money back in the bag and hid it up in their attic.

The next day, two FBI men were going from door-to-door in the neighborhood looking for the money and they showed up at the couple's home.

One of the agents asked, "Pardon me, but did either of you find any money that fell out of an armored car yesterday?"

The wife responded, "No."

The husband said, "She's lying. She hid it up in the attic."

She said, "Don't believe him, he's really getting very senile and doesn't know what he's talking about."

The agents sat the man down and one of them said, "Tell us the story from the beginning." The old man started, "Well, when Sally and I were walking home from school yesterday . . . ."

The FBI agent looked at his partner and standing up told him, "Let's get out of here."
