COVINGTON, Georgia (AP) -- A Georgia woman who tried to use a fake $1 million bill to buy $1,675 worth of merchandise at Wal-Mart
(snip)
Pike then tried to use two gift cards worth only $2.32 to buy the merchandise, but when that did not work she again asked to cash the $1 million bill, Cotton said. The store then called police.

For a second there, I thought some bastard had pulled a prank and pointed the link to tubgirl.

You know, I once bought a 2 million dollar bill somewhere. I was never stupid enough to actually try to buy something with it though.

Pike was jailed on forgery charges. A woman who answered the phone at the jail said she did not know if Pike has a lawyer.

Meh. She's just an attention whore.

One interesting semi-related piece of trivia: The US government once made special bills with denominations of up to $500,000 for banks, but they stopped producing them in the 80s or 90s.

Post by: karajorma on March 10, 2004, 12:40:06 pm: You know what. They should have given her the change in dollar bills just to watch this idiot try to take it out of the store :D

I guess she didn't realise how much a million dollars actually weighs :D

Stupidity should be painful.

That would take care of everything. Evolution would shake out the idiots.

Title: More rampant idiocy
Post by: aldo_14 on March 11, 2004, 04:20:34 pm: I think the police brutality would have improved her appearance........... besides which, she's clearly ben beaten with an ugly forest. And then dropped on a floor made of ugly wood. And buried prematurely in an ugly casket, covered in ugly soil. And then dug out again by an ugly shovel, made of ugly wood and ugly metal.

so, to conclude - bit unattractive.

My wife told me that if I ever cheated on her, the girl better be a supermodel. She'd never be able to live down me cheating on her with an ugly girl. Of course, she also told me she'd have my testicles as earrings, too.

Post by: beatspete on March 12, 2004, 04:36:12 am: Mr Burns: "Look with your eyes, not with your hands"

President of Cuba: "Please, we are all ameigos here!"

*Mr Burns gives the trillion dollar bill to the president of Cuba*

*The president of Cuba looks at the bill*

*Camera shot returns to Mr Burns*

Mr Burns: "Now... give it back.."

President of Cuba: "Give what back?" he says, casually smoking a cigar.

I miss tv.
