Why doesn’t anything like this happen to me?
Last week, a jailer in the St. Louis County (Missouri) jail made a surprise find in the bathroom of the St. Louis County facility’s intake center. The correctional officer found $55,000 stuffed behind a toilet paper dispenser!
Police Chief Thomas Byrne says the bundle of money was in $100 and $50 bills.
And, for the surprise of the day, none of the inmates who were interviewed knew anything about it. Can’t you hear the replies now:
Question: “Sir, is that your money?” Answer: “What money?”
Question: “Sir, is that your money?” Answer: “I don’t know nothing about no money.”
Question: “Sir, is that your money?” Answer: “I’m innocent!”
Question: “Sir, is that your money?” Answer: I didn’t steal no $100 or $50 bills!”
The police chief has indicated that the money has been placed in a special bank account until the rightful owner is determined.
Does anyone know the phone number to the St. Louis County Jail? I think I left a package there as I visited last week!
So, here' s the question for you, how will you answer it: "Sir/Ma'am, is that your money?"
You were just visiting you say? Now...was that overnight or was that visiting someone who was a lodger in the "Hotel"?
ReplyDeleteMy answer: "I wish! I wondered where I left it!"
As old as we are getting Bill, the jailer might believe that we forgot the money where we did...since we spend so much time in the bathroom!
