[QUOTE="PunnyPoetress, post: 1708593, member: 624701"] ...walking down the street, lugging? two big plastic garbage bags in tow. As she is passing by a policeman, he notices that there a few $20 bills falling out of the one bag. "Hey, lady! Wait a moment -- here are three $20 bills that just fell out of your bag" and also sees when she puts them back in the bag there are hundreds more inside. "Whoa! Tell me how you've managed to accumulate so many $20 bills in that bag. You must have a few thousand dollars in there. I hope you haven't done anything illegal." The old lady smiles and says, "Officer, I can assure you I haven't done anything unlawful to earn this money. I own a tiny piece of property with a make-shift hut on the other side of the community sports field downtown. The only thing that separates the two areas is a chain link fence. During the many types of games, the men on the other side of the fence can become crude and urinate through the openings in the chain link fence. In order to defend my property and to teach them a lesson, I grab them and tell them that unless they give me a $20, OFF it comes! So, you see, I haven't committed any crime." With that explanation, the old lady picks up both of her bags and continues down the street. The policeman is dumb-founded but also a bit curious. He calls after her saying, "OK lady, you're free to go, but just answer one more question for me ... what's in the other bag?". The old lady replies, "Well you know Officer, not everybody has $20 !!"
