A patrol officer noticed something strange on his route\u2014crisp $50 bills scattered along the sidewalk, leading straight into a narrow alley. Curious, he followed the trail and spotted an elderly woman dragging two trash bags, one of them slowly spilling cash. Ma\u2019am,\u201d he said, \u201cyou might want to know one of your bags is leaking.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cOh goodness, thank you!\u201d she replied sweetly.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Still baffled, the officer asked, \u201cIf you don\u2019t mind me asking\u2026 where is all this money coming from?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWell,\u201d she said, \u201cI live next to a very busy bar.<\/p>\n

And every night, drunk men use my garden as their personal restroom.\u201d<\/p>\n

She sighed. \u201cLast night I finally had enough.<\/p>\n

I waited outside with my pruning shears. Whenever someone started, I simply said, \u2018Fifty dollars\u2026 or I trim more than the roses.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

The officer burst out laughing and waved her on.<\/p>\n

As she walked away, he called out, \u201cSo\u2026 is the other bag full of money too?\u201dShe smiled calmly.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot everyone believes in paying fines.\u201d<\/p>\n

A Little Old Lady Tried To Phone Her Local Bank. A little old lady tried to phone her local bank but was sent to the bank call center instead. \u201cIs that the High Street branch?\u201d she asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, madam,\u201d replied the voice at the other end.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is now company policy to deal with telephone calls centrally.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, I really have to talk to the branch,\u201d said the old lady. \u201cMadam, if you just let me know your query, I\u2019m sure I can help you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think you can, young man.<\/p>\n

I need to speak to the branch.\u201d<\/p>\n

The call center operator was adamant. \u201cThere\u2019s nothing that the branch can help you with that can\u2019t be dealt with by me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cVery well then,\u201d sighed the old lady.<\/p>\n

\u201cCan you just check on the counter?<\/p>\n

Did I leave my gloves behind when I came in this morning?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
