Three men (an asian, a latin and a black ) were playing with a gun in a street. One of them fired it by mistake without aiming it at anything. The bullet broke a window in an old lady's house. The young men made off at once when they saw the damage they had done but the old lady looked out of a window when she heard the explosion and she recognized one of them. 

   The old lady complained to the police and a detective came to her house. The old lady gave him a detailed account of everything that had happened, then the detective asked her if she knew where the young man lived. The old lady told him that too, so the detective went to the young man's house. He and his companions tried to hide but the detective found them and the gun and took them to the police station. 

   There his chief officer questioned the young men to find out which of them owned the gun but none of them was willing to say. The chief officer decided to put an end to the conversation. He turned to the detective and demanded to know whether he had got an officer's permission to take the gun away from the young man who owned it. 

  The detective felt anxious when he heard the question. "No, sir" - he answered nervously. "I didn't get it."

"In that case" - the officer declared angrily, "You were quite wrong to take it away from him. You'd better returned it inmediately".   

   This made the young men smile happily at each other and as soon as the detective held the gun out and said, "Here you are". One of them put his hand out in order to get it back.

That is how the officer finally discovered whom the gun belonged to.
