The Great Escape
Two prisoners, an American and a Mexican, were making their escape over the jailhouse roof when one of them dislodged a tile.
“Who’s there!" shouted a guard.
The American prisoner replied with a convincing imitation of a cat’s meow. Reassured, the guard when back to his rounds.
They were almost at the fence when the second prisoner dislodged another tile. Again the guard challenged them, repeating, “Who’s there?”
“The other cat,” answered the Mexican.
