The Noisy Argument
Published Nov 27, 2002
As the rookie cop passed a store he heard a noisy argument. He paused, listened again, then stepped inside to investigate.
"What's going on?" he demanded. "What's all the noise about?"
"It's nothing," said the proprietor. "There's no argument. I'm all alone!"
"Wait a minute, mac," said the cop. "I distinctly heard an argument going on."
"You don't understand, officer," said the store owner. "I'm alone in the store. Business is terrible. So to pass the time away, I talk to myself, and when I talk to myself, there's bound to be an argument."
"How can you argue with yourself?" asked the cop.
"It's easy, said the store owner, "because I hate a liar!"
