A police officer is walking his beat when he catches with his eye a trail of $50 bills leading into an alley. Curious, he immediately goes in and finds an old woman with two bags of trash dragging on the ground, one of them leaving $50 notes in its wake.
He calls the woman to halt and approaches her.
“Excuse me Mam, but one of your bags has a hole”. He points out.
The woman thanks him profoundly but he, still curious, asks:
“Hope you don’t mind me snooping around but where did you get all that money?”
“Well, you see Mr.Officer,” the old lady explains, “I have a lovely house at the end of the street and it just so happens to be right next to a very famous bar. I don’t mind the noise but every night there are always some drunkards that piss all over my garden.” She said, her voice shaking with indignation.
“So, yesterday night I stood there with my pruning shears and whenever someone got their thingy out I’d say: ‘$50 bucks or I’ll cut it off!'”
Laughing at the amusing idea of those scared drunkards handing their money, the Police Officer lets her go about her way. But as she turns to go he jokingly asks:
“Is the second bag filled with money too?”
“Well, you know Mr. Officer, not everyone pays.”
