When I bought a used full suspension bike off Craigslist I stopped in a bank some miles from my home and withdrew $1800 in cash. The teller, a very pretty young woman, had to call her equally attractive but older female manager over to approve the withdrawal. The manager asked what I was doing so far from home withdrawing so much cash. I told her I was buying a used bike. She asked, "Bike, as in bicycle?". I answered yes. Both women just sort of stared at me.
Finally I said "You know how some men my age buy motorcycles and start dating younger women? Well, I'm buying an expensive bicycle." They kept staring at me. When I added "My wife knows where I am" they both started laughing and gave me 18 fresh $100 bills.
Ended up selling the bike 6 months later for $1400 after it tried to kill me.
