Another example of a Stupid American
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/3497480.stm
Quote:
A US woman has been charged with forgery after trying to use a fake $1 million bill at a supermarket.
The cashier immediately noticed the bill - bearing the picture of the Statue of Liberty - was fake and called her manager who alerted the police.
The US Treasury does not make $1m bills, which only go as high as $100.
|
Hmm... I wonder if there is anyone just as stupid who would have accepted it.
Oh and I like the link on the right that says Americans are too fat, study finds. talk about stating the obvious.

"It was green, but you could tell it was not a real bill," Mr Turner added.
No wonder he made it all the way up to police chief

Hey, it was worth a try.
Although, was she expecting change?

I can't think of anything to say that would adequately describe what I'm thinking.

Re: Another example of a Stupid American
I know Americans give their children ridiculous names, but "Almond Turner"? What were his parents thinking?

Re: Another example of a Stupid American
recently someone used a fake $318 bill at a Burger King, and got change. The bill had a picture of dubya on the front, amongst other humorous stuff.
Anyway, the guy later got caught, but couldn't be charged with counterfeiting because it was too obviously fake. I'm sure that precedent will save this woman's butt too.
"The cashier immediately noticed the fake" smells like bullshit to me too. More likely she took the bill, but didn't have change for a million in her drawer so she called her manager. What with Americans being stupid etc.

Re: Another example of a Stupid American
This reminds me of the old joke about the counterfeiter who decides to make $18 bills. His partner is skeptical that anyone would be stupid enough to accept them, but the counterfeiter assures him that he knows of a remote hillbilly area where the residents are so dumb they'll take anything.
With a stack of freshly-printed $18 bills, the counterfeiter drives his partner to this remote area and upon encountering the first country store, he sends his partner inside with a bill to get change. After a minute, his partner emerges with the $18 bill, looking confused.
"What's the matter?" asks the counterfeiter, "Don't tell me he wouldn't he accept it?!"
"Oh, he'd take it alright," replied his partner, "Do we want two nines or three sixes?"
Thank you, thank you... I'll be here all week.

I'm more interested in the last sentence. I thought they were against same-sex marriages.
