You don't know what you don't know

A man walks into a bar and sits down next a very attractive female he's never met. Without any small talk he turns to her and asks 'Would you sleep with me for one million dollars?' She replies with excitement and without thinking 'Yes!' He then says 'OK, will you sleep with me for one hundred dollars?' The woman turns red and throws a drink in the man's face 'how dare you?' The man replies 'We've already established what you are, now we just have to agree on the price.'

Recently a man was arrested for a felony because he received a used dryer at his business in Lincoln, Ne which contained over fifty thousand dollars in jewelry, and he didn't turn over to police, nor did he attempt to identify the owner. On his behalf, he did wait one month for the owner to come forward, and then he pawned the jewelry so he could pay his tax bill on his business. The owner of the jewelry was found to be a little old lady who had a bad memory and forgot where the jewelry was.

I don't happen to agree with a law that legislates morality, I think this guy should get be found not guilty and let go. On the other hand if the victim was my grandma or mom I would be probably have a different position on the issue. Now I would like to think that if I was the person who found fifty thousand dollars in jewelry I would have turned it over, not because it's law but because it's the right thing to do. In any given situation I would like to think I would be the better person and return any lost item of value. But what do you do when find two hundred thousand dollars in the trunk of a vehicle you just bought from a police auction, then google the name on the title and find out he is a convicted drug dealer? Do you turn it in? Does it make a difference if it's two hundred thousand thousand or two million. I want to believe I would turn in the money and be the better person, but at the same time that money would make a great week in Vegas.

Good Day
