It's Sunday! Time for our hilarious, upvote-worthy Official Weekly VAWA-Thread Joke: ============================================== THE THREE BANK-ROBBERS Three bank-robbers -- a redhead, a brunette, and a blonde -- were trying to evade the police when they came across a farm.

When the police came to search the barn, they first came to the horse stables. The redhead let out a hefty "Neigh!" The cops were convinced that the horses were indeed alone, so the redhead escaped. The police then searched the cow pens. The brunette had heard what the first robber had done, and belted out a deep "Mooooo." The cops were again convinced, and the brunette was able to escape. The police finally turned to the stall where the blonde had hidden. As they came close, they suddenly heard, "POTATO!"
