Default brag: I found $20 on the ground

I'm walking back from a job interview and take a shortcut through a Firestone parking lot on my way to my apartment. I notice 2 ten-dollar wrapped rolls of quarters on the ground and pocket them. As I pass the entrance of Firestone, I feel the need to appease the karma gods, so I walk inside and talk to the first employee I see.

Me: "I was curious if anyone dropped any money in your parking lot."
Employee: "Was it $100?"
Me: "No."
Employee: "Was it less than $100?"
Me: "Yea, but it could be a significant amount to someone."
Employee: "Was it $60? $20?"
Me: "Hey if you keep guessing, eventually you'll get it. I was just hoping that if anyone actually lost anything, they'd be able to specify the exact amount and denominations. If so, I'd have given it up."
Employee: says somthing about the money being a gift from heaven and encourages me to go get drunk with the money

brag: I kept the monies
beat: I semi-lied to the guy. Also, this is less than a BI at NL25
variance: last night a homeless person came up to me with a small piece of a $20 bill and asked me to help her find the other piece/pieces. When I refused, she asked me for any spare change. I made up a story about being a poor college student who has $50K in student loans.
