While on vacation, Cleo and Jerome went into a store to buy a few souvenirs. They paid with
their credit card and then got back into their car. Driving down the highway, they saw a police
car chasing them, trying to get them to stop. Foolishly, they decided to keep going. The police
officer put on his lights and siren and chased them for a while, finally pulling them over. "Oh,
we're in really big trouble, now,' Cleo and Jerome said as the police officer pulled them over.
"What did we do, officer?" they asked.
"You left your credit card in the store," the officer replied, "And I brought it back to you. Here it
is." And the officer smiled, saluted, and left.
