  1. One day a man bought a cart in a town from some travellers. He had nothing to bring it home only a very small ass. As he was going down the town two Policemen walked over to him as they the cart was too heavy for the little ass. They asked him had he no bigger ass - they would have to summon him for cruelty. He looked at them and said "all the big asses have joined the (the) Police".
