It's my hobby, I torture numbers until they talk to me...
I once added up the tax withheld on my pay stubs and compared it to the W2 statement. I found a difference (apparently a software glitch) between what should have been identical numbers. I then reviewed the previous five years and found the same error except the magnitude was smaller at the start and increased slightly every year. I decided to let things lay and not poke around further as the W2s were actually over stating the tax withheld.
Sometimes it best not to kick that sleeping dog to find out if it bites...

PS It helps that I've seen a million in cash in Vegas at Binion's Horseshoe and I knew it wasn't a pallet load! Actually it was 100 $10,000 bills which are no longer in circulation. You could put the entire stash in a fat wallet but you'd have trouble getting change.
