All Apologies

A man making a late-night stop at a convenience store came out and found his car had been stolen. The next day the owner of the convenience store calls him and tells him to come back right away. When he gets there he finds his car is back in the exact space it had been stolen from, on the dash in a note that says "Sorry for any inconvenience, my wife was having a baby and I had to take her to the hospital." Relieved but annoyed, the man phones the police to tell them then returns home. When he gets there he finds that everything in his home has been stolen. On the table is a note that says, "Sorry for any inconvenience, but I have to put my kids through college, don't I?"

The Lie Detector

Some Policemen were interrogating an unintelligent but particularly stubborn suspect one day when one of them had a bright idea. He wheeled in a copy machine with a metal mixing-bowl wired to it, and said "If you're telling the truth, you won't mind taking a little lie-detector test." Worried, but seeing no alternative but giving it a try, the suspect agreed. Each time the suspect gave an answer that was obviously a lie, the policeman made a copy of the sheet he'd already put in the copier that said: "LIE". Realizing he couldn't fool the machine, the criminal eventually gave in, confessing and telling the officers all they needed to know.

This one was done in an episode of NYPD Blue and Homicide: Life on the Street.

The Two Hitchhikers

A salesman driving along the highway one day saw a hitcher and decided picking him up would be a good way to relieve his boredom. After he did, he immediatley regretted it, the man was large and menacing, and his questions about the salesman's business quickly made him nervous. Ahead he saw another hitchhiker and decided his best bet was to pick this one up too, especially since this one was well dressed and very clean-cut. As soon as the second hitcher got in the back seat he pointed a gun at the two men in the front and demanded their valuables. The front-seat passenger swung his arm back and smashed the robber in the head with his elbow, knocking him unconscious. Before the salesman could even say anything, the large man took the gun and all the unconscious robbers possessions and pushed him back out of the car. As he turned to the salesman, gun in hand, the salesman begged him not to hurt him, he'd do whatever the large man wanted. The large hitchhiker said: "Relax buddy, I'm not gonna rob you, it's my day off."
