  Well, ok, point taken...I suppose I'd find it suspicious as well,
but I probably wouldn't if he weren't in a hurry.

  In this country there exists a general feeling that dealing in cash
is wrong or "shady" in some way.  While I generally don't consider
myself to be a conspiracy theorist, I believe this idea has been
propagated by our government because cash is much more difficult for
them to track than more "respectable" methods of money transfer.
