CHICAGO POLICE DEPART - DAY
Officer O’Malley: Hey, chief, remember when we found RedMcLaughlin in that drainage canal a few weeks back and you told us we should
drag the rest of the canal in case any other gangsters got dumped in it?
Chief Flanagan: Sure, sure I remember what of it?
Officer O’Malley: We found another guy. Looks like he’s been
there maybe six months.
Chief Flanagan: Might be hard to get prints. Do your best.
Officer O’Malley: Uh, can’t he’s got no hands.
Chief Flanagan: Cut off his hands did they? Try to identify
him through his dental work.
Officer O’Malley: Can’t. He’s got no head either.
Chief Flanagan: No head either? Gangsters are getting
crafty. Well it’s a long shot but a lot of these hoodlums wear monogrammed
socks. Makes ‘em feel like big shots. Try that.
Officer O’Malley: No can do. He’s got no feet either.
Chief Flanagan: Jesus, Mary and Joseph they took his feet
too!!! Why would they take a man’s feet?
Officer O’Malley: Cuz they got no soles?
Did anyone check his pockets for an organ donor card?
ReplyDeleteI don't think gangsters were allowed to donate their organs. Most were perforated to some extent.
ReplyDelete"Cuz they got no soles?" No head, no hands, and no feet sounds like a one way ticket to soil for his sole. More corny music.
