Smart old lady

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 fell out onto the sidewalk.
> Noticing this, a policeman stopped her, and said, "Ma'am, there are
> $20 notes falling out of that bag."
> "Oh, really? Darn it!" said the little old lady. "I'd better go back
> and see if I can find them. Thanks for telling me officer."
> Well, now, not so fast," said the cop. Where did you get all that
> money? You didn't steal it, did you?"
> "Oh, no, no", said the old lady. "You see, my back yard is right next
> to a Golf course. A lot of Golfers 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, 'O.K., 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."
