There is nothing unusual about a gnawing sense of guilt as one leaves a fast-food joint. It doesn’t matter how hungover I am, I always feel a little disappointed in myself.

A couple in New Hampshire, USA, had a sense of guilt for a completely different reason last Friday after a visit to their local Burger King. Instead of finding some greasy goodness inside their bag, they found a whopping $2 631 in cash, prompting a bit of soul-searching on their part. This from Associated Press:

Matthew Jones says the couple briefly considered keeping the money, which they certainly could have used. But he says he and his wife are Jehovah’s Witnesses, and that “Jehovah sees everything.”

Good thing they had a higher power watching them. God forbid those pesky atheists, with their unmediated sense of right and wrong, had found the bag.

Upon returning the money the couple were offered five free meals by the manager, proving every cloud has a silver, fatty, artery-clogged lining.
