James was returning home with his salary and was ambushed by an armed robber on a deserted street. "Take my money, take my money!!" said James, "But do me a favour. Shoot a bullet through my cap here otherwise, my wife won't believe I was robbed." The robber obliged. He threw James's cap into the air and shot a bullet through it.

So the robber shot a number of holes through James' suit. "And now shoot...…" "Sorry," interrupted the robber. "No more holes. I'm out of bullets." "That's all I wanted to hear!" said James.

But it was to no avail, for the young man smiled even more broadly when she sat down.Again, she moved to another seat, he grinned and again after the fourth move, the young manjust rolled up and roared with laughter. The woman complained and duly had him summoned to court...JUDGE: Well, young man, have you anything to say in your defense against this charge?YOUNG MAN: Well, your Honor, when the young lady entered the bus, her condition was obvious. However, that did not prompt my smile, but she sat under an advertisement that read: "Coming shortly - The Gold Rush Twins." The lady seemed indignant when I smiled and she got up and took another seat beneath a shaving stick advertisement, which read:"William's stick did the trick."
