In some parts of the Deep South, it is still the tradition to pay off a house with CASH money.
You go to the bank, negotiate your loan, and you pick up your cash money in a brief case.
Usually the bank will supply you with an armed security guard, who will accompany you to the seller, you exchange money for deed, and signatures all around, and the Security Guard accompanies the seller to his bank (if he wishes).
Its not unusual to carry around huge sums in this country.
But with a trunk full of weed and a bag full of wads, you are going to have a tough time convincing even your mom that the two have nothing to do with each other.
