A redhead, a blonde, and a brunette escape from jail and hide in a barn. The police close in, so the three women each hide in a sack. The police search the barn and, to check each sack, a police officer kicks them as he walks past. The officer kicks the redhead's sack, and the redhead says, "Meow!" The officer kicks the brunette's sack, and the brunette says, "Woof, woof." The officer kicks the blonde's sack, and the blonde shouts, "Potatoes!"
