Maybe; human behavior is unpredictable.
That was not my worst response.
Once, I was in a bookstore, in a mall and I abandoned a $100 bill
close, next to a very pretty girl, who was a cashier.
I walked away.
She screamed and yelled in
anger. I 'm not clear qua her objection.
I don 't remember what she screamed.
