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.

Credit Card and PIN with unlimited credit limitWhen I was working in France at a law firm (just for a week as le stagiere) I was asked by the receptionist to go off and get her some cigarettes. Evil-smelling ones that she would constantly have cemented to her lips. She gave me her own credit card, told me the PIN, and I scampered off as fast as my english legs would carry me. I go into the shop and... nothing. Card is rejected. I go back. She tells me a different PIN, and it's still the same story.
She seems pissed. Nicotine withdrawals are obviously affecting her. So she goes to the boss of the law firm and gets the Firm Card.
Now I've seen Maitre Watel (the boss) use this only the day before, when he withdrew a total of €6000, so I know it's loaded, and just needs the slightest caressing before it spills all it's money out on me.
I go out, holding this card tightly in my pocket, and gaze in vain at the ATM I pass on my way to the tobacconist. The temptation to just take out a little bit of money... no one would ever know... I'm leaving the next day anyway...
But I'm a good little boy, and I buy the toxic cigarettes and give the card back straight away. I don't think I'll ever have so much money at my command ever again.
Dammit.
Yay! No b3ta virginity any more!
