Piece of glass

                   

Joe Dillinger and his boys sat around the table,celebrating the rich haul of highly priced diamonds they had lifted from the Fremlins. Joe was holding the diamonds in his hand and caressing them.The table was stacked with scotch bottles and tall glasses loaded with ice.There was also a new brief case.

Suddenly the door opened with a bang. Guz, with his mean looking boys rushed in, their wuzzies ready to spray. "Hey Joe, pass all the stones or you will be plastered to the wall" shouted Guz. Joe stood up and answered without losing calm. " cool down Guz, all that we got was this leather case with bills.We were trying to locate the diamonds when we heard the squad car. The feds were closing in and we escaped through the fire escape. Thank our stars we made it in time". Guz was burning with anger. " So you messed up my plan.  I am taking 70% of the spoils as a warning". "No problem Guz, how about some drinks? said Joe". Refusing the offer, Guz x-rayed every thing in the room and having satisfied, himself, vanished with his lackeys.

Every one in the room heaved a sigh of relief. The boys turned to Joe and asked, " Hi boss, how did you manage to hide the stones?" Very cool and collected, Joe answered, " Find out for yourselves. They are just before your eyes".

Yes, where did the stones go? One of the glasses on the table hid the diamonds by masking them with crushed ice and whiskey. Joe had cleverly pulled a Houdini.
