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 a while
a $20 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 back yard 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 thing
through my fence, I surprise him, grab hold of it and say,
O.K., 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.”
