I Don’t Know, Son! - 60

The Costly Beer break!
Son: It is reported that a man who broke out of the police station cell in Pennsylvania was caught within minutes, dad.
Father: Go on, son.
Son: The man had been arrested on an assault charge and his handcuffs had just been removed after placing him in cell, dad.
Father: Go on, son.
Son: He is said to have ran away after knocking the cell door off its hinges, dad.
Father: Go on, son.
Son: But his temptation to have a beer at a bar within a short distance from the Station, proved his undoing, dad.
Father: Go on, son.
Son: The police caught him just as he was enjoying his first sip, dad!
Father: I don’t know, son!
Wake Up Judge!
Son: A sleeping Russian judge is said to have sentenced the defendant for five years after waking up, dad.
Father: Interesting. Go on, son.
Son: The video footage shot during the trial showed the judge Yevgeny Makhno slumped in his chair during the defence advocate’s speech, dad.
Father: Go on, son.
Son: But the judge woke up soon after and announced a five-year hard labour sentence to the defendant – a businessman accused of fraud, dad!
Father: I don’t know, son!
Mamata’s beating, whipping and slapping controversies!
Son: The Chief Minister of West Bengal, Mamata Banerjee appears to be in an upbeat (?) mood nowadays, dad.
Father: Go on, Son.
Son: She had previously denied having stated that she would ‘beat’ the Prime Minister on the issue of fertilizer price hike, dad.
Father: True. Go on, son.
Son: Just last week she had publicly shouted at the guards that they ought to be ‘whipped’ for making her wait for the car, dad.
Father: Go on, son.
Son: Last Sunday she did the ultimate, dad.
Father: Like what? Go on, son.
Son: She told the journalists that she would ‘slap’ them unless they behaved properly, dad!
Father: I don’t know, son!
Security Guards or Nuts!
Son: The Bangalore Police have solved a murder case and arrested the killers in a jiffy, dad.
Father: Fantastic. Go on, son.
Son: A law firm owner was found dead in his flat in Mahadevapura on 8th February. The police team found two guards of the building missing, dad.
Father: Go on, son.
Son: Both the guards were from Assam and Police suspected that they must be on their way to Assam by train, dad.
Father: Go on, son.
Son: A Police team led by Inspector Nagaraj took a flight to Kolkata and waited at the Railway station for their arrival, dad.
Father: Go on, son.
Son: The two nuts got down in Kolkata to catch another train to Assam, dad.
Father: Go on, son.
Son: The Police team received them with pleasure promptly and brought them back to Bangalore, dad!
Father: Go on, son.
Son: The nuts told the Police that they killed the law firm owner thinking that he had a lot of cash in his apartment, dad.
Father: Go on, son.
Son: But they found virtually nothing as he used only plastic money, dad!
Father: Go on, son.
Son: The two admitted that they lost on both counts, dad!
Father: Go on, son.
Son: They made no money and were caught by the Police in an operation that was as good as a cakewalk, dad!
Father: I don’t know, son!
