Ethel and Earl
A police office on patrol drives by a
house and sees Earl, lying on his front
porch holding a black eye and Ethel,
standing in the doorway holding a baseball
bat.
The officer parks his car and tries to get
to the bottom of what just happened.
After talking with both Earl and Ethel,
the officer radios his superior.
“I have an interesting case here, Sarge”
he says. “This woman, Ethel, hit her
husband in the head with a baseball bat
for stepping on the floor she just
mopped.”
“Have you arrested her for it?”
asks the sergeant.
“No sir, not yet.
the floor is still wet.”
