The armadillo

A lawyer was driving along the highway when an armadillo suddenly ran in front of his car. The driver hit the brakes, and, in a panic, picked up the armadillo and tossed it in the trunk before continuing on his way. A short while later, he got pulled over at a checkpoint. The officer asked for his license and registration, and, hearing scratching sounds coming from the trunk, then told him to step out of the car and open the trunk. When the trunk popped open, the officer spotted the armadillo.

“Are you out of your mind?” the cop exclaimed. “This is a wild animal! You could go to jail for this. If I call the wildlife authorities, you're in big trouble.”

“No, no, officer,” the lawyer responded. “That armadillo is my pet. I’ve raised him since he was just a baby. He's trained, too. If you let him go, I can whistle twice, and he'll come right back to me.”

Doubtful, the officer said, “Yeah, right. I don't buy it.”

“Go ahead and let him go, and you’ll see,” the lawyer replied.

So, the officer picked up the armadillo and released it into the woods. The armadillo bolted, disappearing into the trees. The officer turned back to the lawyer and said, “Alright, call the armadillo back.”

“What armadillo?” the lawyer asked.
