My reaction might be the same - throw the bag of Nikon gear as a sacrifice (isn't that disposable anyway? LOL)

All I want is just a little more than I'll ever have.

That's one of the absolute best "pulling a face" shots I think I've ever seen....and I can't say I blame the guy. I'd likely have been a little damp after that encounter, myself :P
