Morning y’all
. . . . . Didja Know?
A man in Sumter, SC who obviously spent way too much time in the shallow end
of the gene pool, came up short after his debit card was declined at a local Applebee’s.

In a stroke of genius the man whipped out a $1 trillion bill to settle his tab. Needless to say,
staff members called the cops who are now investigating his use of funny money.

Yeah "genius" doesn't quite describe this guy, where exactly do you get a fake $1 trillion dollar bill? Monopoly money? And why was he carrying it around with him?

We (my two dd's and I) actually have $1,000,000 bills that we bought at the Hallmark store years ago - keep them in our wallets for good luck, while we work on our second million!

Of course, we've never intentionally pulled them out to pay for anything for real... though they've been great for a joke or two! But, I was at a fast-food place one night and couldn't see which bill I was taking out from which compartment in my wallet and accidentally handed that million dollar one to the girl at the window... lol, the look on her face was priceless... and she was so stunned she couldn't even really tell me what the problem was... it finally dawned on me what I'd done and I exchanged it real quick for a real bill! Bet she's still telling that story!


But, Joy, a trillion dollar bill... now that's just being greedy!

One-trillion Dollars? Hmm.. I guess you gotta him credit.. or debit.. for trying.. It doesn't sound like they had enough money for the change... But, he might be getting "free" meals in the near future..

This first problem was eating at Applebee’s............................. the last time I was there I promised myself I'd never return. What a bad choice, he could have gone some place that would have a good meal at least. He might as well asked to buy the entire chain of Applebee's restaurants with that large of a bill.
