OK Ocean, I will bite - what did you do with the $1,000. According to your other answer, you probably took it and did your laundry while drinking vodka and saying your rosary. Or is that just too big an assumption?

Well, believe me that taking the $1,000 was very tempting. But I turned it in.

It would be easy to claim that I did that because I am a good person, but I don't make claims.

This is what I did not want to happen: "I saw the envelope and pretended it was mine, and placed it in my pocket. No one in the line behind me saw or knew what I had done.

I turned and left. Halfway across the room towards the exit, however, I turned and saw an old woman go to the window and say to the person at the window "I left some money here, did you see it?"

At that point I would have had to make another decision, a decision much harder than the first: Whether or not to admit that I had taken what was not mine, or whether to just keep walking, knowing that I had taken an old woman's money. I didn't want to face such a possibility.

So I chose to turn in the money not because I am 'good', but because I wanted to have a clear conscience.

Dang, Ocean, I was going for the old lady to be a group of homeless orphans.

You are probably a closet do-gooder.

I've been rereading this this morning and some questions are churning in my enquiring mind.

New, you said the cocaine would be easy to get rid of. Do you take cocaine? Do you know a lot of people that take cocaine? New York is a big city, but wouldn't it be a little risky to go up to a complete stranger and try to sell them cocaine because you think they look like a drug dealer?

I found it a bit strange that this divided along gender lines. The women all seemed pretty emphatic that they would not even consider taking the money, while the men, even if in the end decided not to take the money, considered it in the beginning.

It is a testosterone thing Az.
We generally dont pass up sex either,
if we were to just find it lying there.
We might not take it, but we can consider it

Well take the question a bit closer to home - you go to a fast food restaraunt, and notice as you drive away from the window that you have too much change. Do you go back and fix it, or drive off figuring you got your Big Mac a little cheaper this time?

Az, off the top of my head, I can think of about half a dozen people that would either be interesed in the coke or would know someone who was. I would never just go up to someone and try to make a deal. I may be nuts, but I'm not crazy. In the NYC gay scene, drugs are pretty much a staple. That's not to say that every gay man/woman does drugs. Just the ones I know.

As to the gender lines, I agree with Merlin. I thinks it's a male thing. Some men tend to think they are in a crime drama or they might see themselves on Cops....
