yeah. i’m totally kidding.
but my friend sent me this story.
Pittsburgh-
(AP) Change for a million?
That’s what a man was seeking Saturday when he handed a $1 million bill to a cashier at a Pittsburgh supermarket. But when the Giant Eagle employee refused and a manager confiscated the bogus bill, the man flew into a rage, police said.
The man slammed an electronic funds-transfer machine into the counter and reached for a scanner gun, police said.
Police arrested the man, who was not carrying identification and has refused to give his name to authorities. He is being held in the Allegheny County Jail.
Since 1969, the $100 bill is the largest note in circulation.
Police believe the $1 million note seized at the supermarket may have originated at a Dallas-based ministry. Last year, the ministry distributed thousands of religious pamphlets with a picture of President Grover Cleveland on a $1 million bill.

OK that last part is really creepy. Which Dallas based ministry? Strange!
I’m almost positive that it’s Kirk Cameron / Ray Comfort’s ministry, “The Way of the Master.”
Our church showed a video by them in which they advertised the dozens of gospel tracts that they produce.
That’s pretty funny! Did the guy really think he’d get away with it!
What a sad man…
man!! I was so excited!
but that is a weird story….was it like a tract?
Well everything is bigger in Texas.
Wait…so are you saying my Grover bill is illegitimate? That was supposed to pay for my kids’ college expenses and retirement. This is absurd!
I have a 5 billion dollar bill…..I’m sure it’s fine. right?
Um, HOW was this supposed to be an effective marketing tool? What the heck were they trying to do? Anyone know?
OK – the all cap title weirded me out – please don’t do that again ;-) I have some three dollar bills I’d like to spend or trade for other currency.
Crazy!!!!
Poor guy is right. A million dollar bill yeah right, I was just wish for a $20!!
I lost count how many times I received that tract as a tip at starbucks
That would be a good question for your blog. What would you do if you had ah, ah, ah, let’s say one million dollars? What do you think Anne? What would you do?
Man….it would be cool to round up all religious weirdos that produce those tracts because they actually think they’re clever, put them all on their own island off of Tasmania, then we could charge admission to go see the fruitcakes and they would benefit because they could prosthelytize the island-amusement park-goers and we’d all be rid of their antics! Muuuuuuuwah! (Yes I realize my grammar was sub-par in this comment. Please do not use my bad grammar as a means to illegitimize my anecdote.)
I HATE that. Especially when “christians” leave a fake $20 as a tip because its so much more valuable than money. They would have a lot more credibility if they would leave REAL MONEY!!!!! Sorry. Just one of those things for me.
