Two Garbage Bags

[Martin]

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."

"######!" 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 now," 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 on St.

Pat's Ball Park. Each time there's a game, a lot of fans come and pee in the

bushes and right into my flower beds! So, I go and stand behind the bushes with

a big hedge clipper, and each time someone sticks his thingy 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, "some guys think I'm bluffing".
