coins.
then they get their money and I get away cuz it boggs them down.

It reminds me of a time back in college when some drunk smelly kid thought my dorm room was his pal's so he kept banging on the door for an hour yelling for some dude to come out he thought lived there. Finally I opened it really fast and poured liquid TIDE detergent all over his shirt. I had this in my room for when I had to do laundry so I figured, why not? This got him very angry but then he must have smelled it or touched it because it then got him to go away and I knew that ultimately he could not be pissed at me because it was a cleaner.

Similarly, I think if you threw money at someone they cannot be upset at you:

Another instance in college was at a party where I could just not get a beer for the life of me and my GF. I saw these two guys just standing there with beers not drinking them for what seemed like ages, so I took them right out of their hands and gave one to my girlfriend. As the two guys were just about to get pissed off at me (and rightfully so) I whipped out a $10 for each and stuffed it in their raised palms and we walked off. What could they do? And $10 for anything was a ton of money in the 80s, but hey I was making fake IDs so I had money lol
