A
shoplifter was caught red-handed trying to steal a watch from an exclusive
jewelry store.
"Listen," said the shoplifter, "I know you don't want any
trouble either. What do you say I just buy the watch, and we forget about
this?"
The manager agreed and wrote up the sales slip.
The crook looked at the slip
and said, "This is a little more than I intended to spend.
Can you show me
something less expensive?"
