I never found anything worth that much in a bra.

With the FBI at the door, Prince George County councilwoman Leslie Johnson placed a hurried telephone call to her husband County Executive Jack Johnson about what to do with nearly $80,000 in cash and a check for $100,000 – bribe money given to the Johnsons by a local developer.
Unaware that his phone was wiretapped, Jack Johnson instructed her to “Flush the check down the toilet and hide the money in your bra.” She followed his instructions and greeted the FBI with $79,600 stuffed in her bra.
The FBI wasn’t fooled and arrested Leslie Johnson and Jack Johnson for tampering with evidence (it’s illegal to hide cash in your bra? WTF? ) as part of a corruption investigation.
Okay, now I’ll admit I don’t have as much experience with bras as most of you guys, and I’m usually working from the other side, but surely something is wrong with this story. With the $100 bill being the largest bill in general circulation, Mrs. Johnson would have had to stuff 790 bills into the cups to pull this one off. Wouldn’t that be…. um pretty obvious? Or is there really that much spare room in those things?
“I’m innocent of these charges and I just can’t wait for the facts to come out,” Jack Johnson told reporters, apparently unaware that his instructions to flush the check and hide the cash had been recorded.
Yes, I’m sure there’s a perfectly innocent explanation for keeping that $79,600 in his wife’s bra. On another matter, I think we have to change the time-honored dating scorecard. If you are able to get inside her bra and find $80,000, that’s not just getting to first base but should count as a home run.
