Would You?
We were watching a cop show.
One of the cops was clearing the scene of a drug hit, and he came out of the apartment with a bag of cash.
“There has to be a hundred grand there,” the outside cop said.
“Maybe one-twenty,” the first cop said.
We watched the first cop hand it over and the second cop said:
“I’ll book it into evidence.”
Yeah.
Right.
“How much would you keep?” I asked my beautiful wife.
“I don’t know.”
How about you?
You’re in an obvious drug house alone, and you stumble upon $120,000 in small bills.
Would you take enough for lunch?
Or a car??
Or a condo???
It’s morally wrong, right?
I’m a former altar boy.
A thoroughly honest guy.
Kathy turned it all around.
“Would you take some?”
I considered it and did all of the math in the given situation.
In the imagined scenario I’m a cop who is grossly underpaid. The guy who owns the drug house is dead. He was a bad guy. He made all that cash dealing drugs. The money will be sent to the precinct where someone else might skim it. I have about 30 seconds to make the decision.
Hmmmmm.
I answered my wife.
“Yeah, me too,” she answered.
