About 15 years ago, I was laid off by my previous employer. I had a severance check and when I went to the bank to get it cashed, they had to check to see if they had enough cash on hand to cover it (or at least that's what they told me). It wasn't like it was some vast sum of money. I believe it was in the neighborhood of $5,000 or $6,000 or something along those lines. Anyway, they ultimately managed to scrape together enough cash without having to close their doors. I envisioned this giant vault in the back empty except for a small stack of 20 dollar bills sitting in the middle of the floor...
