The Fine
A man was riding a bicycle with two large sacks on its luggage rack. One sack had a hole, and coins kept clattering onto the road.
A police car overtook him and stopped. An officer called, "You've dropped a lot of coins back there!"
"Oh no!" the man exclaimed. "I'll have to go back and pick them all up."
The officer grew suspicious. "Where did you get all those five-thousand-dong coins? Did you steal them?"
"Of course not! I live near a stadium, beside a beer shop, and there's a big tree against my wall. After matches, the fans go drinking and then pee against the tree. I hide nearby with a big pair of scissors and demand one coin from each man as a fine."
The officers roared with laughter. "Clever idea! What's in the other sack?"
"Well, not everyone agrees to pay the fine."
