Counterfeiting 101

Here in the Land of 10,000 Ways to Counterfeit a $100 Bill, a local crafstman chose the wrong one. True story:

A man attempting to pay for toilet paper (toilet paper?) at a local Wal-Mart fed a fake $100 bill to the cashier. How did she know it was fake?

1. It had the wrong president's picture on the bill........Abraham Lincoln!

2. Where it was supposed to say "One Hundred", the bill said "Five".

3. It smeared.

Upon being questioned by the cashier as to the authenticity of his "artwork", he quickly tried to pay with real money. By that time the police had arrived, showing interest in the situation.

Now, the guy had the right idea. If you're going to try to pass fake money, do it at Wal-Mart. But toilet paper?!?! A quick review of dead Americans who appear on money wouldn't have hurt either.

Counterfeiting 101.

Watch money orders and cashier's check too. My Dad sold something on Ebay and the person gave him a cashier's check. When he went to cash it at the bank, the bank told him he had to wait for 2 weeks b/c they weren't sure it was real.

Oh yeah, our state has more stupid people than your state, Larry.

Here is a story from today's local news. When two cops came to a lady's house after a noise complaint, the woman took a fancy to one of the cops and called 911 to see if she could get the cop to come back.

Here is what she told the 911 operator:

"He's the cutest cop I've seen in a long time. I just want to know his name... heck, it doesn't come very often a good man comes to your door step... I don’t have an emergency… I’ll think of something… throw him back my way, would you?.... just blame it on my dog,”

When the cop came back, he arrested her.

Here in the Land of 10,000 Beaches and 2 Cannons, we have a vampire running for governor. He will start his campaigning as soon as he gets of jail in Indiana.

Top THAT, Paul!
