I Can Only Imagine Something Like This

This afternoon a gentleman came to the bar and had a beer. He watched the Cincinnati Bengals lose to the Pittsburgh Steelers for a little bit, and then he left.

As I cleaned up his empty beer can, I noticed a crumpled up piece of paper. I opened it and saw that it was an ATM withdrawal slip. Apparently, he had made a withdrawal from his savings account. Fortunately for him, only the last 4 digits of his account displayed.

But then I saw the balance in his savings account: over $27,000! I have never had that much money saved up before. That would be a good item to include in a story. Where did he get that money from? Is he just a penny-pincher, or is there something shady going on in his life?
