A
police officer responded to a report of a bar room disturbance.
The
"disturbance" turned out to be well over six feet tall
and weighed almost 300 pounds. What's more, he boasted that he could
whip the officer and the "Heavy Weight Boxing Champion of the
World."
Said
the policeman, "I'll bet that you're also an escape artist
too, probably better than Houdini."
The
giant nodded.
"If
I had some chains," the officer continued, "you could
show us how strong you really are. But all I've got is a set of
handcuffs. Why don't you see just how quickly you can break out
of them?"
Once
in the cuffs, the man puffed, pulled and jerked for four minutes.
"I
can't get out of these," the giant growled.
"Are
you sure?" the officer asked.
The
fellow tried again. "Nope," he replied. "I can't
do it."
"In
that case," said the officer, "you're under arrest." |
