The bag contained several hundred thousand dollars, much of which the man started spending wildly (of course). Well, the cops caught up to him, arrested him, and brought him to trial on some dumb charge. His defense was that he went temporarily insane upon finding all that money. The jury agreed with his contention unamimously, and he went free. This is a true story (and an acceptable usage of the "insanity" plea). I welcome comments. Dan O'Connell
