@P E Dant,
There was this guy back in the Little House on the Prairie days. He got married, and on the horse and buggy ride home after the wedding, the horse stopped and drank some water from puddle. The guy jumps off the carriage and looks the horse in the eye and says, "That's once."
He gets back up on the carriage and continues down the road when the horse stops to eat an apple that had fallen from a tree. The guy jumps off the carriage and looks the horse in the eye and says, "That's twice."
He gets back in the carriage and not one minute later the horse stops again. The guy jumps off the carriage and stands in front of the horse and says, "That's three times," after which he pulled a pistol from his pants and shoots the horse right between the eyes.
His new wife says, "WTF? Why did you do that. The guy turns to his new bride and says, "That's once!"
Now, as far as you asking about getting paid this week, let me just say "That's once!"
