Cop Mishears Names

A cop rounds up three people and asks for their names.

The first man says, “Chris Almity.”

The cop scowls. “Don’t mess with me. What’s your real name?”

“Chris Almity,” the man repeats.

Annoyed, the cop shoves him aside and turns to the second man. “Name?”

“Isaac Atmajob.”

The cop snaps, “I don’t care what your job is. What’s your name?”

“Isaac Atmajob,” the man says again.

Now furious, the cop pushes him aside next to Chris and turns to the third person, a woman.

“What’s your name?” he asks.

She says nothing.

“That one’s mute,” Isaac explains. “Check her wallet.”

The cop opens it, reads the ID, and says out loud:

“…Alya Freetago.”

At that moment, all three of them take off running.

The Punchline

All the names are puns the cop misunderstands:

  • Chris AlmityCriminality
  • Isaac AtmajobI suck at my job
  • Alya FreetagoI’ll ya free to go (or All are free to go)
