Just got a wire transfer of $200,000 from bitstamp for some of my bitcoins

bank teller asked me who the hell sent me $200,000 from slovenia

I started telling her that I had received an email from a fairly high ranking member of the USSR politburo who was asking for assistance in retrieving proceeds of underhanded Jewish dealings from the fall of the soviet union.

she looked faintly horrified.

I then told her that I was joking and that it was proceeds of sales of a made up internet currency called bitcoins, and that it would likely eventually spell the end of the banking system as we know it. And with that, I left.
