A police officer was walking his beat when he noticed a trail of $50 bills leading into a narrow alley. Curious, he followed it and found an elderly woman dragging two rubbish bags, one of them leaking money as it scraped along the ground.
He stopped her and said, “Excuse me, ma’am, but one of your bags has a hole in it.”
She thanked him warmly. Still puzzled, the officer asked, “If you don’t mind me asking, where did all this money come from?”
“Well, officer,” she replied, “I live at the end of the street, right next to a very popular bar. I don’t mind the noise, but every night drunk men relieve themselves all over my garden.”
She shook her head and continued, “So last night I waited there with my pruning shears. Whenever someone pulled it out, I said, ‘Fifty dollars, or I cut it off.’”
The officer laughed, amused by the image, and waved her on. As she turned to leave, he joked, “So is the second bag full of money too?”
She smiled and said, “Not everyone chooses to pay.”
