Anyone remember Minnie Pearl? She was a comic on the old Hee Haw show and the Grand o'le Opry for years.

She said she was walking down a street when a man grabbed her and insisted that she give him her money. When she told him she didn't have any money, he searched her up and down. Finally he said "You don't have any money."
She said, "No, but if you do that again, I'll write you a check."

Now this is of course an exaggeration, but it's all a matter of attitude.
"Nothing is good or bad; thinking makes them so" (Shakespeare)
