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.

Carrier bag securityAbout a yesr ago when I bought my house, I needed to transfer £35k from an account at my building society to the current account at my bank, and it needed to be done by the end of the working day.
I called the building society to tell then what I wanted to do, and they offered to do some electronic transfer thingummy for about £30. I declined their kind offer, reckoning I could do it myself for free. After clearing with them that I was allowed to withdraw that much, I went down to the branch.
Here I withdraw all £35k (in twenties - the cunts), stuck it in my high-security inconspicuous carrying device (a HMV carrier bag), and walked the half mile down the high street to my bank, where I paid it all in.
There's nothing at all unusual about someone walking down a high street with a carrier bag, so I wasn't even worthy of a second glance.
