&quot;Weird&quot; is an odd word. Should we penalize the weird? Should we be encouraging more conformity? Or is it merely that only the unusual makes the news?<p>The doctor received $15K in cash from wedding gifts. How is that weird? Is it because your baseline doesn&#x27;t include people with rich relatives?<p>The &quot;Baltimore Woman [who] Posted a Stranger’s $15,000 Cash Bail&quot; was because of a judge&#x27;s order:<p>&gt; But in addition to criminal charges a judge had imposed a strict “cash only” bail condition on Wilkes. The so-called “cash only” restriction bars suspects from using a bond or personal property to make bail.<p>Had it not been an anonymous person, and one of the family members brought in the $15K, it wouldn&#x27;t have made the news.<p>At the very least, it establishes that a judge thinks that walking around with $15K in cash is not beyond the pale.
