Your father's Oldsmobile III
One in a series of jokes from a decades-old book I came across recently.
A man was in bed with a married woman when they heard the door open. "Oh my God!" she gasped. "It's my husband! Quick - hide in the closet!" So the man hurried into the closet and closed the door.
Then he heard a small voice saying, "It's very dark in here."
"Who's that?" he asked.
"That's my mother out there," the small voice said. "And now I'm going to scream."
"Please don't!" the man said.
"OK, but it'll cost you money," the boy said.
"Here's five dollars."
"I'm going to scream!" the small voice said.
"OK... Here's ten dollars."
"I'm going to scream," the voice said again.
Finally, when the boy turned down thirty-five dollars, the man said, "All I have is forty dollars."
"I'll take it!"
At last, the husband left and the man was able to get out of the closet and make a hasty exit.
That afternoon, the mother took the boy with her to go shopping.
"I want to get that bicycle," he said.
The mother said, "No, you can't. It costs too much money."
The boy said, "I've got forty dollars."
The mother asked, "Where would you get forty dollars?"
But the boy wouldn't talk. She began to berate him. He wouldn't respond. She slapped his face. He stood stoicly. Finally, twisting his arm, she dragged him into a nearby church and approached the parish priest. "Father, my son has forty dollars and he won't tell me where he got it. Maybe you can find out?"
The priest nodded. He led the boy into a confessional booth. The boy sat on one side and the priest on the other. The boy said, "It's very dark in here..."
"Now, don't start that again!"
