I guess this isn't what's meant by 'funny as a two dollar bill'.

What the &%@#** does this have to do with 9/11?

Mohammed Atta paid for all the one-way tickets with $2 bills, didn't you know that? :)

"It's a sign that we're all a little nervous in the post-9/11 world."

Yup. . .$2 bills. . .the favorite weapon of terrorists.

I'm so glad this happened up north, rather than Alabama.

Next time you are tempted to make fun of us southerners, please remember this incident.

Commenting on the incident, Baltimore County police spokesman Bill Toohey told the Sun: "It's a sign that we're all a little nervous in the post-9/11 world."

Translation: "I, Bill Toohey, am a moron and I am hoping if I invoke 9/11 you will not notice I am a moron."

Or 'phoney as a two dollar bill' either, for that matter!

>>I guess this isn't what's meant by 'funny as a two dollar bill'.<<

Yeah. . . more like 'queer as a three dollar bill'

Between the Best Buy cashiers and the police department, it sounds like more than a few IQ points have been lost.

[Veto!]

Everyone who shops at Best Buy MUST pay with $2 bills.

Dinchaknow?

Al qaeda is a worldwide terror network plotting to pay stereo installation fees only with two-dollar bills.




I'd sue. For something, anything. I'd sue.

The only person more stupid that these policemen would be the person who would counterfeit a $2 bill. Not much of a profit margin there.

"She looked at the $2 bills and told me, 'I don't have to take these if I don't want to.'..... So she took the money – like she's doing me a favor.... the cashier marked each bill with a pen.... Other store employees began to gather, a few of them asking, "Are these real?" >>>>>>>>>>>> What a herd of dumb-heads !

[tuvals]

Said Bolesta: "I told them, 'I'm a tour operator. I've got thousands of these bills. I get them from my bank. You got a problem, call the bank.' I'm sitting there in a chair. The store's full of people watching this. All of a sudden, he's standing me up and handcuffing me behind my back, telling me, 'We have to do this until we get it straightened out.' What a complete bunch of idiots from Best Buy employee's and management to the police department. This man will hopefully sue and more then make up the cost of his installation. For this travesty I hand out my Bozo Award.

To think. Twenty years from now, trying to buy a soda with all those nifty state quarters you've collected for the last ten years will end up with you doing five to ten years of hard time.

And I don't want any inflation jokes, either.:)

A tip, know to those who work retail (in my case a bar) ---

--- the "bait" money --- the money you put in the register to give to a robber with recorded serial numbers are generally $2 bills.

Probably the only $2 bill the idiot behind the counter was the "bait" money in the register.

That said, I think I am going to get a stack of these and some of those Pocohantis Sqaw-bucks --- maybe a .50 cent piece or two and head to Best Buy.

I know somebody who's going to be owning a Best Buy store soon.

And a police department.

Now you guys know how American Citizens are sometimes made to feel when they cross the border and have to deal with Federal Agents who forgot that you can secure the country while still not being an a$$4ole. The best thing to remember when dealing with these folks is that they demand that you be lower than them.

Try spending an Eisenhower Silver Dollar -- that will really get a response! I have several -- and they are an oddity, but they are legal tender.

Best NOT try to spend them at Best Buy. tee hee
