The Bag Lady

"The Bag Lady"

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."
