A little old lady was walking down the street dragging two large plastic garbage bags behind her. One of the bags was ripped, and every once in awhile a $20 bill fell out onto the sidewalk.
Noticing this, a policeman stopped her and said, "Ma'am, there are $20 bills falling out of that bag."
"Oh, really? Darn it!" said the little old lady. "I'd better go back and see if I can find them. Thanks for telling me officer."
"Well now, not so fast," said the cop. " Where did you get all that money?
You didn't steal it did you?"
"Oh, no, no", said the old lady. "You see, my backyard is right next to a
golf course. A lot of golfers come and pee through a knot hole in my fence,
right into my flower garden.
It used to really tick me off. Kills the flowers you know. Then I thought,
'why not make the best of it'?
So, now I stand behind the fence by the knot hole, real quiet, with my
hedge clippers. Every time some guy sticks his thingy through my fence I
surprise him, grab hold of it and say, 'Okay buddy! Give me $20 or off it
comes."
"Well, that seems only fair," said the cop, laughing. "OK, good luck! Oh,
by the way, what's in the other bag?"
"Not everybody pays."
