When Lucy was
ready to retire, she was advised by all her friends to
arrange direct deposit for her social security check.
Lucy was hesitant about it, but because so many people
advised her, she decided to try it. The first three
months, when her check should have been deposited, she
went to the bank to be sure the money had been
deposited. Little did she know that each month someone
was watching her.
On the
fourth month when she came out of the bank a man
accosted her and asked for her money. She told him she
didn't have any. He told her he'd been watching her
for three months, and knew she had money. Then he
frisked her.
Finding
nothing, he said, "but I watched you for four months.
Aren't you cashing a check?" "No", she said, "but if
you'll frisk me again I'll write you one".
