It was payday and Paddy had been to the pub all night, he was a bit under the weather and was walking home when he was mugged by four blokes considerably larger than he.
Paddy put up a hell of a fight but after fifteen minutes he was overpowered and his pockets were turned out revealing that he had 70 cents.
One of the group said to Paddy 'You put up a hell of a fight for only 70cents', Paddy replied I didn't know that was what you wanted, I thought you were after the $500 in my shoe'.
