Payment as phony as, well, a $200 bill

The Associated Press

ROANOKE RAPIDS -- Police are searching for a man who paid for $150 in groceries at a Food Lion grocery store with a $200 bill.

<snip>

The bogus bill -- the U.S. Mint does not print a $200 bill -- bore the image of President Bush on the front and had the White House on the back. It also included signs on the front lawn of the White House with slogans such as "We like broccoli" and "USA deserves a tax cut," Roanoke Rapids police said.

Instead of being labeled a Federal Reserve note, the fake bill was marked as a "Moral Reserve Note." The bill bore the signatures of Ronald Reagan, political mentor; and George H.W. Bush, campaign adviser and mentor.

9. The Same Thing Happened In Danville, KY

Someone bought a breakfast biscut at the local Dairy Queen a few years ago and was given over 197 dollars in change.

I suppose the "I Hate Broccoli" signs on the White House Lawn wasn't enough of a tip-off.

10. WOOOOOOOOOO! Nice work, fella!

The man's a genius.....although I suspect that the cashier may have been a few watts short of a lightbulb.
