My uncle, Sam Remington, lived in England where he made a small but very illegal living counterfeiting small coins of the realm. He figured that no one would even notice, so he could pass the small change with impunity. Like his deceased cat, he was in the bad mintin' racket.
But he eventually was caught by a dauntless detective from the Yard, who, when Uncle asked him how he had caught him, sang merrily, "Sam, you made the pence too long."
Sam repence to this day.
