Friday Funny 🤣👛
A retired lady was walking her dog and a young man was jogging behind her.
On his way past, he grabbed her purse and took off at full speed.
A couple across the street ran over to check on her saying they’d seen everything. They assured her that they had already called the police who would luckily arrive in a few minutes.
The lady smiled and said, “It’s no big deal... When my dog does his business, I put it in a plastic bag and carry it in my old purse until I get home to dispose of it!”

🤣🚦Friday Funny 🚦🤣
Two retired ladies, Marie and Edith, were out driving in a large car on their way to celebrate 25 years of retirement. They were short, so they could barely see over the dashboard.
As they were cruising along, they came to an intersection. The traffic light was red but they just went on through...
Edith, who was in the passenger seat, thought to herself, "I must be losing it... I could have sworn we just went through a red light."
After a few more minutes they came to another intersection and the light was red... and they went right though again!
This time Edith was almost sure that the light had been red but was really concerned that she was losing her mind. She was getting nervous and decided to pay very close attention to the road and the next intersection to see what was going on.
At the next intersection, sure enough, the light was definitely red and they went right through.
She turned to Marie and said, "Marie! Did you know we just ran through 3 red lights in a row?! You could have killed us!"
Marie turned to her and said, "Oh, am I driving?!"
