Spoof 2

The police at the big city were looking for a thief. At last they caught him. But while they were taking photographs of him-from the front, from the left, from the right, with a hat, without a hat-he suddenly attacked the policeman and ran off. They tried to catch him, but he got away. Then a week later, the telephone rang at the police station and somebody said, “You are looking for Bill Cross, aren’t you?” “Yes”. “Well, he left here for Water Bridge an hour.” Water Bridge was a small town 150 kilometers from the city. The city police at once sent four different photographs of the thief to the police in Water Bridge. Less than twelve hours later, they got a telephone call from the police in Water Bridge. “We have caught three of the men.” They said happily, “and will catch the fourth this evening, we think.”
