A Special Kind of Stupid

[WDWHound]

A women tried to pass off counterfit currency at a Walmart in Altanta. Not just a counterfeit $10 dollar or $20 bill mind you, but a counterfeit MILLION dollar bill. To top it off, the bill wasn't very convincing. What is wrong with this picture?...

Yup, thats the bill she tried to use to buy $1,675 worth of merchandise! I never knew that Lady Liberty was once a US president (LOL). Never mind the fact that our government doesn't even produce 1 million dollar bills.

I wonder where she thought they were going to get the change from ("Gee Maam, I don't have change for a million, let me check the other registers"). And the most amazing thing is she has 2 other 1 million dollar bills in her purse! Looks like she wasn't going to stop at just trying to con Walmart. She wanted to be a repeat offender of the chronic stupidity statutes.

Here is a link to the CNN story:

I guess she figured that store clerks these days don't know WHO is on paper currency anymore.

I read in another story about her that she said her husband gave the bills to her. I wonder if she thought he got a really good raise at work?

 

[TigerBear]

She obviously can't be too bright.

Alexander Hamilton and Benjamin Franklin weren't presidents either. Sorry, I couldn't help myself, had to point that out.
