Watch it!

A businessman reported that his expensive watch had been stolen. The inspector summoned 6 constables. 'Find the thief!'

Within an hour, they returned with 6 suspects. 'Excellent,' said the inspector. 'Any confessions?' 'All 6, sir.'

'Remarkable! Where's the watch?'


'Each suspect says he sold it.'

'To whom?' 'To the other 5.'

Inspector [frowning]: Then we have a criminal conspiracy.

Pre-Crime

A man walked into a police station and announced that he wanted to confess to a murder.

Inspector: Who did you kill?

Man: My wife.

Inspector: When?

Man: Tomorrow.

Inspector [sighed]: We cannot arrest you for a crime you haven't committed.

Man: That's what my lawyer said. But I'm here to establish an alibi.

Quiet Riot

A riot policeman was sent to disperse an angry crowd protesting against something somewhere. Armed with a lathi and tear-gas canister, he shouted, 'Disperse immediately! Or I'll have to use force!'

Nobody moved. 'I'm warning you! This is an unlawful assembly!'

A protester shouted, 'We're all unemployed! What have we got to lose?'

The policeman thought for a moment.

'Fair point,' he said. 'Actually, they're cutting police jobs too.' The crowd cheered and invited him to join. An hour later, he was leading them to the barricades.
