The label clearly read, "The 10 Most Wanted."One of the youngsters pointed to a picture and asked if it really was the photo of a wanted person."Yes," said the policeman, "the detectives want him very badly."So Little Tommy asked, while tugging on the man's belt, "Um, mister, why didn't you keep them when you took their pictures?"
