SIR Bidwell Branch 110 Humor

The irony is criminal.
An odd day on the job for these police officers:
1. Twenty inmates in a Venezuelan prison concocted a brilliant plan to tunnel out.
They made one small mistake: The exit hole was too small, and some of the prisoners struggled to get through.
Luckily, they had help.
Police officers happened to be training in a field directly in front of the tunnel's exit.
They helped the men out of their predicament and back into their jail cells.
2. A suspicious man in Tampa, Florida, was spotted entering an unlocked car parked outside an apartment building.
Police tracked him down and asked about the suspected burglary.
The suspect refused to cooperate, and was arrested and taken to the Pinellas County Jail.
There, he was likely given a uniform to replace the T-shirt he wore, which read: "I just got out of prison."
3. Three armed robbers in Colorado parked their getaway car in front of a check-cashing business, put on masks and stormed into the store before fleeing with an undisclosed amount of money.
Unfortunately for them, two of the three were apprehended.
That may be because they had no way to escape since, as they were robbing the business, their getaway car was stolen.

A person was searching for the phone extension of a new employee who had the reputation of being unpleasant.
Striking out, the person asked their coworkers, "Does anybody know Julie's extension?"
A voice from the next cubicle mumbled, "Try 666."

The speaker at a bank's drive-through window had been broken for weeks, and the tellers had to resort to miming or writing notes to communicate with the frustrated customers.
One day a sweet elderly lady who could be seen every week pulled up to the window, leaned out of her car and smacked the glass in front of the teller's face.
"Hope this is bulletproof," she yelled.
There had just been a robbery at another bank nearby, so the teller was touched by the lady's concern.
"It is," the teller yelled back.
"Good," the lady continued, "because someone is going to shoot you if you don't get the speaker fixed."

Q: What do you get when the post office burns down?
A: A case of black mail.

I wondered why the Frisbee kept getting bigger and bigger.
Then it hit me.

My landlord told me we need to talk about the heating bill.
"Sure," I said. "My door is always open."

A panic-stricken man said to his doctor, "You have to help me! I think I'm shrinking!"
"Now settle down," the doctor calmly told him.
"You just have to learn to be a little patient."
