I sold my car to a guy at work who coveted it for $500.00  
He paid me with one hundred five dollar bills. Why? Whats up with that? If I withdrew $500 from the bank for a debt, I would ask for five one hundred dollar bills.

Waiter? Bartender? That sounds like the most likely reason.

Don’t get why you put “Black guys” in the title. I don’t like it and I’m closing this.
