The Million-Dollar Bill
« on: February 18, 2012, 08:07:20 AM »
A North Carolina man, Michael Fuller, was recently arrested for trying to use a (counterfeit) $1,000,000 bill at a local Wal-Mart, for the purchase of $476 worth of merchandise. This is far from the first time that somebody’s tried to use an absurdly-large counterfeit bill.

The logic here escapes me: Did he actually expect the cashier to have $999,526 in the register to give him as change?

Um...   It's WalMart.

Mecca for anything with the means to get there.

Can't think of a chain that would be more likely to encounter that..

We should mint a trillion dollar coin and give it to the Chinese.  Paid off.

His change would be $999,524  genius.  You just shorted your til $2.  You're fired.

He probably hadn't factored in the groupon yet.

Go easy on him!

A North Carolina man,
You can stop right there.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.
