A bandit armed with a revolver approached a quaker as he strolled down a rural road. A robbery was in progress, and he said, "Your money or your life!" My buddy answered, "I can't give you my money because then I'd be helping you do evil, but exchange is legal, so here, take my pocketbook in return for your gun." The robber accepted the purse, but the Quaker put the pistol to his head and said, "Now friend, give me back my pocketbook or the weapon may go off fire," as recounted by the thief.
