George and Jack were friends and neighbours. They were both policemen, and they sometimes went out together in apolice car and drove around in town for a few hours.
One evening they got into the car at the police station and drove around from eight o’clock to midnight. First the town was quite quiet, but then, at half past eleven, there were a few drunk people in the streets.
George stopped the car, and Jack went to them and said, ‘Go home.’
Then there was another drunk man. George said to Jack, ‘Look, Jack. That man’s going round and round a tree, and he’s knocking at it all the time.
He stopped the car, and Jack got out and went to the man. ‘Go home,’ he said to him.
The drunk man stopped, looked at Jack for a few seconds and then answered, ‘Don’t be stupid! There’s a wall right round me.’
