The most cash I've ever carriedThere's nothing like carrying large amounts of cash to make yourself feel simultaneously like a lottery winner and an obvious target.
A friend went to buy a car for ten grand, panicked and stuffed it down his pants for safety. It was all a bit smelly by the time he got there and he had to search around for some of it...
Tell us the story behind the most cash you've ever carried.

Ah, bless!When I worked for an estate agents (I wasn't actually one, I just did their admin) 3 young lads, recent graduates, had a flat rented for them in London - by their mums I think - so they could seek their fortune in the big city. On moving-in day, they had to turn up at our office with a banker's draft for their deposit before they could get the keys. One of them got to the bank, found out said draft would cost him a tenner, and got out the cash instead. So he jumps on the train from Melton Mowbray or Leamington Spa or Harrogate or whichever 'nice' town his mum's house was in, heads down to London and arrives at Kings Cross. He took one look around him and decided he didn't dare go anywhere in the big city with that amount of cash on him - so got a taxi which ended up costing him twice the cost of the banker's draft. Bless! The fool...
