Murphy and the thief began to wrestle

One night, Murphy was walking home when, all of a sudden, a thief jumped on him.

Murphy and the thief began to wrestle.

They rolled about on the ground and Murphy put up a tremendous fight.

However, the thief managed to get the better of him and pinned him to the ground.

The thief then went through Murphy’s pockets and searched him.

All the thief could find on Murphy was 25 cents.

The thief was so surprised at this that he asked Murphy why he had bothered to fight so hard for 25 cents.

“Was that all you wanted?” Murphy replied, “I thought you were after the five hundred dollars I’ve got in me shoe!”
