No One Believes Old People
Everyone thinks we are senile.
An elderly couple who were childhood sweethearts had married and settled
down in their old neighborhood and are celebrating their sixtieth wedding
anniversary. They walk down the street to their old school. There, they

On their way back home, a bag of money falls out of an armored car
practically at their feet. She quickly picks
it up, but they don't know what to do with it so they take it home.
There, she counts the money, and it's fifty-thousand dollars. The husband
says, "We've got to give it back."
She says, "Finders keepers." And she puts the money back in the bag and
hides it up in their attic.
The next day, two FBI men are going door-to-door in the neighborhood
looking for the money and show up at their home. They say, "Pardon me, but did
either of you find any money that fell out of an armored car
yesterday?"
She says, "No." The husband says, "She's lying. She hid it up in the
attic."
She says, "Don't believe him, he's getting senile." But the agents sit the
man down and begin to question him. One says, "Tell us the story from the

The old man says, "Well, when Sally and I were walking home from school
yesterday..."
The FBI guy looks at his partner and says, "We're outta here..."
