Deceased, But not forgotton
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 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 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."
