Mystery man throws his money away... literally!

Aberystwyth, mid Wales- A town-centre scrum erupted when a mystery man hurled what is thought to be thousands of pounds in the air.
Passers-by dashed across the street to fill their pockets after he shouted: 'Who wants free money?'
People were seen scurrying to pick up the bank notes - some on their hands and knees - at the pedestrian crossing in Alexandra Road, Aberystwyth.

Those things can be lowered y'know.
Besides, blind rage can do strange things to people. They suddenly become very good climbers, for instance.

I would drop it from a plane, preferably a bomber

Apparently the guy was arrested and the police told everyone to give the money back, killjoys.
