        过生日一般都是收礼的，从没见过自己过生日还往外发钱的。在美国，一个65岁的老人就做了这样的事儿。出于善心，老人举着发钱的牌子到十字路口为行人发钱，在65分钟的时间，一共送出了5美元。
        Drivers in Oklahoma City did a double-take this week as they drove by a man standing with a sign at a busy intersection.
        Instead of a homeless person asking for a handout, they saw Doug Eaton holding a handwritten sign that read: "I have a home and a car and a job. Do you need a few bucks for some coffee?”
        For 65 minutes, Eaton handed out $5 bills to passersby. It turned into the best birthday gift ever, he said. “It’s just been fantastic. Some people who don't take the money say, ‘Man, I love what you are doing. I won’t take it but give it to someone who needs it,’” he said.
