...you are in the food store...you are 12 feet from what is proably a
9 year old child who is with their mother...the mother is very distracted with reading nutrition labels on soup cans...between you and this child is a ten dollar bill lying on the floor...you see it...the child sees it...your eyes meet...you both know the ten dollar bill is there..you know the child can turn to it's mother and say something before you get to the ten dollar bill...the child has not figured this out yet ( but may in a flash )...how do you get the ten dollar bill and claim it as yours ?

You hit the little bastard with a soup can right between the eyes. This will distract the mother. Grab the ten dollar bill and make a dash for the door.

..i think slappy understands the theatrical tension of the situation....it requires some finesse and intellecuality to get the bill and keep the tyke off balance and quiet...( can you throw a soup can hard enough to drop the tyke without a scream ? )....

That's the question. I kind of throw like a girl so I would probably hit the mother with the soup can and it's not going to stun her. I would also try the, "Hey look over there. It's [insert celebrity]!!!" This should by you some time while everyone begins to look.

Are we assuming the $10 belonged to the mother in the first place and this is an unscrupulous attempt to steal it?

If so, the best bet is pretend to fall over, landing on the bill. You will create some attention in the process, masking any complaints the child might make. When the kerfuffle dies down you can walk away $10 the richer.
