Plastic bags

Contributed by LS-SL-April 06

A little old lady is walking down the street, dragging two plastic
garbage bags with her, one in each hand. There's a hole in one of the
bags, and every once in a while a $20 bill is flying out of it onto
the pavement.

Noticing this, a policeman stops her..."Ma'am, there are $20 bills
falling out of that bag...". "Damn!" says the little old lady..."I'd
better go back and see if I can still find some. Thanks for the
warning!"

"Well, now, not so fast," says the cop. "How did you get all that
money?" Did you steal it?"

"Oh, no," says the little old lady. "You see, my back yard backs up
to the parking lot of the football stadium. Each time there's a game,
a lot of fans come and pee in the bushes, right into my flower beds!"
So, I go and stand behind the bushes with a big hedge clipper, and
each time someone sticks his little thingie through the bushes, I
say: $20 or off it comes!"

"Hey, not a bad idea!" laughs the cop. "OK, good luck! By the way,
what's in the other bag?"

"Well", says the little old lady, "not all of them pay up...."
