Humour - The Counterfeiters

[El Chivo]

A counterfeiter was not paying close attention one day and accidentally ran off a whole slew of $18.00 bills. With the cost of ink and paper, this was an expensive mistake.

He told his partner, who said, "Wait, don't throw those out. Let's go to some hillbilly town, where the people are all hicks, and pass 'em there."

So they put on their overalls, got in a beat-up truck and drove the tortuous mountain roads until they got to a little town that looked like it hadn't had any contact with the outside world for decades.

They got out and went walking down Main St., until they saw a fairly prosperous looking man about to pass by. They stopped him and said, "Hey mister, have you got change for an $18.00 bill?"

The man pulled out his wallet, and said, "Sure do. How do you want it, three sixes or two nines?"

Ahhh the joys of Fiat Money.

There are places in Alaska where the same check has been passed around for years - without ever being cashed.

No point... if everybody says it's worth $20 it's worth $20.

This reminds me of those three dollars bills that had Clinton's (Bill) face on them. I really don't like being reminded of the Clintons.

Does anyone else remember the Abbot and Costello routine with two tens for a five?

Does anyone else remember the Abbot and Costello routine with two tens for a five?

Bud Abbott: Have you got two tens for a five?

Lou Costello: Yeah.

Bud Abbott: There we are. There’s your ten.

Lou Costello: (irritated) Come on, come on!

Bud Abbott: What’s the matter with you? Something wrong?

Lou Costello: Yeah, fifteen dollars went south!

Bud Abbott: What do you mean?

Lou Costello: You give a lot of fast talk! You say, "give me two tens for a five" and I give it to you.

Bud Abbott: Oh, you did? Wise guy! Okay, here’s your five, give me back my two tens.

Lou Costello: That’s better.

Bud Abbott: Now get out of here.

Some years back the Calif. hiway patrol had 55 dollar bills made up to show what the speed limit was then. They were longer and wider than regular bills. Bunch of us sitting around a big table in the local coffee shop, and one of the guys says its my turn to pay for the coffee. The rest of us go out in the parking lot and this guy comes out laughing. Whats so funny. I gave the waitress the 55 dollar bill and she gave me change. We all knew the owner as he was a local. Guy went back in and talked to the owner. He dint beleive it and went and checked the cash register drawer. Shure enough there it was. He called the waitress over and asked why. She said it had to be good because it was issued by the Hiway patrol. Pat paid for the coffee with real money, plus gave the owner the change back from the 55 dollar bill. Next day that waitress wasant there.
