#Three Men on a Park Bench And Policeman# Three men sit on a park bench. The one in the middle reads a newspaper; the others pretend to fish. They bait imaginary hooks, cast lines and reel in their catch. A passing policeman stops to watch the spectacle and asks the man in the middle if he knows the other two, "Oh,yes" he said. "They're my friends." "In that case," warned the officer, "You'd better get them out of here!" "Yes,sir," the man replies, and he begin to row furiously.
