A murderer was at large for murdering people. He asked his sidekick to fend off the police.
Sidekick: What to I get?
Murderer: $100,000 after the job's done.
Sidekick: How do I know youre trustworthy? You pay $100,000 BEFORE the job's done.
Murderer: How do I know youre trustworthy? I pay half before the job's done and half after.
He hands his sidehick $50,000.
Sidekick, smiling: That was a gift for NOT doing the job. For me to actually do the job, I won't settle for $50,000.
The murderer's face went red.
(((SILENCE)))
Sidekick got $150,000.
