\"\"\n

An elderly couple who were childhood sweethearts had married and settled down in their old neighbourhood and are celebrating their sixtieth wedding anniversary.\n

They walk down the street to their old school.\n

There, they hold hands as they find the old desk they\u2019d shared and where he had carved
\n\u201cI love you, Sally.\u201d\n

On their way back home, a bag of money falls out of an armoured car practically at their feet. She quickly picks it up, but they don\u2019t know what to do with it so they take it home.\n

There, she counts the money, and it\u2019s fifty-thousand dollars.\n

The husband says, \u201cWe\u2019ve got to give it back.\u201d She says,\n

\u201cFinders keepers.\u201d And she puts the money back in the bag and hides it up in their attic.\n

The next day, two FBI men are going door-to-door in the neighbourhood looking for the money and show up at their home.\n

They say, \u201cPardon me, but did either of you find any money that fell out of an armoured car yesterday?\u201d
\nShe says, \u201cNo.\u201d\n

The husband says, \u201cShe\u2019s lying. She hid it up in the attic.\u201d\n

She says, \u201cDon\u2019t believe him, he\u2019s getting senile.\u201d\n

But the agents sit the man down and begin to question him. One says,\n

\u201cTell us the story from the beginning.\u201d The old man says,\n

\u201cWell, when Sally and I were walking home from school yesterday\u2026\u201d\n

The FBI guy looks at his partner and says,
\n\u201cWe\u2019re outta here\u2026\u201d\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
