I can't work out if you are having fun at Richard's expense because he
missed out a comma and changed the meaning of the phrase (which I suspect
you probably are), or if you don't know where the original phrase came from.

In case it's the latter, it's from a song in a musical based on Oliver
Twist.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You've_Got_to_Pick_a_Pocket_or_Two for
more information.
