Especially When You Give It Away To Strangers
Spanish police briefly detained a drunk British man who was handing out money to strangers at the airport at Palma de Mallorca after arriving on a flight from Manchester. The man laughed constantly as he distributed the cash. He was carrying 50,000 euros in travellers' cheques and another 2,000 euros in cash.
FOOTNOTE: Cash-22 situation.
the act of joy and love for fellow man is a crime...lol. or maybe he was off his rocker? but in a good way?
ReplyDeleteI expect he is counting the cost now & nursing a sore head & possibly dodging an irate wife!
ReplyDeleteHow come I can't run across this kind of nutjob? I always seem to encounter the fire and brimstone kind.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if that's significant?
Rats! I missed out!
ReplyDeleteApparently it doesn't pay to have a good heart :)!
ReplyDeleteHow much did he give the cops before they escorted him away?
ReplyDeleteSo he was briefly detained because of the public drunkenness, not because he was passing out money. Too bad I wasn't on that same flight.
ReplyDeleteThese tidbits, I love to read. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't mind meeting this man when he is feeling this giddy . . .
One wonders why he would do such a thing.
ReplyDeleteHe must have been "off his lolly"
ReplyDeleteIt's my wish that some day I get caught into the way of such a "Cash 22" situation.
ReplyDeleteCan't think why I cant be near such people.
We have room for one more crazy do-gooder here in the flatlands. Send him over.
ReplyDeleteha! always happens when i'm not there...
ReplyDeleteNever in the right place .....
ReplyDeleteThe Spanish police refused to help my friend who was mugged and left with a broken palate. Now I know why, they were too busy persecuting kindly acts.
ReplyDeleteIf they had left this guy to sober up later, it may have gone a long way towards helping him to cure his drinking problem!
Perhaps I'm cynical but I'm seeing a Candid Camera-type show behind this.
