Money Man

So the other day I'm on the bus on the way home from work. I'd probably been riding for 15 or 20 minutes by this time, and this guy maybe three or four rows in front of me is having a friendly intermittent conversation with another guy in the seat behind him. Keep in mind that most people on the bus read or listen to their IPODs, so when someone has a conversation you can usually catch most of it. It was clear that these individuals didn't know each other. This had been going on the entire time I had been on, and is not uncommon on the bus.

After a few minutes of silence, the guy turns to the person behind him and asks, "Hey, do you have five-hundred dollars?" Startled briefly, the other guy then mutters slowly, "Uhhhhh, no." "OK," says the first guy. A minute later the bus stopped and he got off.

Wonder what would have happened if guy #2 had said yes - a mugging?

This reminds me....Christian, do you have 501.00$? I forgot to ask the last time we talked.

Ummm, awkward. I'm surorised you didn't offer him a $5.

Angeleah - No. Brooke - I don't carry cash, I'll just spend it...or give it away to guys on the bus :)
