😀🧓Tuesday's funny: A little old lady🧓😀

Fiona from Henderson

A little old lady was walking down the street dragging two large plastic garbage bags behind her.
One of the bags was ripped, and every once in a while, a $20 note fell out onto the footpath.

Noticing this, a Policeman stopped her, and said “Excuse me Ma’am, there are $20 notes falling out of that bag”

“Damn” says the little old lady, “I’d better go back and see if I can find them and pick them up”

“Not so fast” says the cop, “How did you get all that money? Did you steal it?”

“Oh, no” replied the little old lady, “You see, my back yard backs up to the local sports stadium and each time there is a game, a lot of fans come by come and pee through a knot hole in my fence, right into my flower garden.
It used to really tick me off, kills the flowers you know. Then I thought, ‘why not make the best of it?’
So, now, I stand behind the fence by the knot hole, real quiet, with my hedge clippers. Every time some guy sticks his thing through my fence, I surprise him, grab hold of it and say, ‘OK buddy! Give me $20, or off it comes.’

“Well, that seems only fair,” said the cop, laughing. “OK, Good luck! Oh, by the way, what’s in the other bag?”

"Well, you know", said the little old lady, "not everybody pays."
