Ga. -- A woman in Georgia allegedly attempted to buy $1,600 worth of
stuff at a Wal-Mart in Georgia with a fake $1 million bill.
The U.S. Treasury doesn't make bills that big.
The woman was arrested and charged with forgery. Police say she had
two more $1 million bills in her purse.
That was actually an AP story than ran today!
I don't know what's funnier, the fact that some moron really tried to
pass off a 1 million dollar bill (at Wal-Mart of course) or the fact
that whoever put this on the wire thought they needed to clarify for
all the other idiots out there that "The U.S.
Treasury doesn't make bills that big"!
Actually I heard they did make bills that big at one time, but Bill
Gates has collected them all and uses them as stuffing in his pillows.
