I found this amusing. Apparently the U.S. was holding a shitload of money from freezing Saddams assets and whatnot, so we gave it back to Iraq - in CASH. Yes, paper, cash, bills...FOUR BILLION DOLLARS IN CASH! The money was put onto pallets and flown to Iraq in a cargo plane. It was the largest cash shipment ever made by the federal reserve.

I just have to imagine somewhere in Iraq, there is a group of guys standing in a warehouse, and looming over them are 363 tons of bills, and they are like, "Holy fuck...4 billions dollars...what the hell do we do with all this?" Smile
