A funny story I got off another forum.(motoutah.com)
"Everyone
should start carrying $2 bills!
I am STILL laughing!! I
think we need to quit saving
our $2 bills and bring
them out in public. The younger
generation doesn't
even know they exist.
STORY:
On
my way home from work, I stopped at Taco Bell for
a
quick bite to eat In my billfold are a $50 bill and a
$2 bill.
I figure that with a $2 bill, I can get
something to eat and not
have to worry about
anyone getting irritated at me for trying
to break a
$50 bill.
Me:
'Hi, I'd like one seven-layer burrito please, to
go.'
Server:
'That'll be $1.04. Eat in?'
Me:
'No, it's to go.' At this point, I open my billfold and
hand
him the $2 bill. He looks at it kind of
funny.
Server:
'Uh, hang on a sec, I'll be right back.'
He goes to
talk to his manager, who is still within my
earshot.
The following conversation occurs between
the two of them:
Server:
'Hey, you ever see a $2 bill?'
Manager:
'No. A what?'
Server:
'A $2 bill. This guy just gave it to
me.'
Manager:
'Ask for something else. There's no such thing as a $2
bill.'
Server:
'Yeah, thought so.' He comes back to me and
says,
'We don't take these. Do you have
anything else?'
Me:
'Just this fifty. You don't take $2 bills?
Why?'
Server:
'I don't know.'
Me:
'See here where it says legal
tender?'
Server:
'Yeah.'
Me:
'So, why won't you take it?'
Server:
'Well, hang on a sec.'
He goes back to his manager,
who has been watching me
like I'm a shoplifter, and
says to him, 'He says I have to take
it.'
Manager:
'D oesn't he have anything else?'
Server:
'Yeah, a fifty. I'll get it and you can open the safe and
get change
Manager:
'I'm not opening the safe with him in
here.'
Server:
'What should I do?'
Manager:
'Tell him to come back later when he has real
money.'
Server:
'I can't tell him that! You tell
him.'
Manager:
'Just tell him.'
Server:
'No way! This is weird. I'm going in
back.
The manager approaches
me and says, 'I'm sorry, but we don't take big bills this
time of night.'
Me:
'It's only seven o'clock! Well then, here's a two dollar
bill.'
Manager: 'We
don't take those, either.'
Me:
'Why not?'
Manager: 'I
think you know why.'
Me:
'No really, tell me why.'
Manager:
'Please leave before I call mall
security.'
Me:
'Excuse me?'
Manager:
'P lease leave before I call mall
security.'
Me:
'What on earth for?'
Manager: 'Please,
sir.'
Me:
'Uh, go ahead, call them.'
Manager:
'Would
you please just leave?'
Me:
'No.'
Manager: 'Fine
-- have it your way then.'
Me: 'Hey,
that's Burger King, isn't it?'
At this point, he
backs away from me and calls mall security on the
phone around the corner
I have two people staring at
me from the dining area, and
I begin laughing out
loud, just for effect. A few minutes later this
45-year-oldish guy Comes in.
Guard: 'Yeah,
Mike, what's up?'
Manager
(whispering):
'This guy is trying to give me some (pause) funny
money.'
Guard: 'No kidding!
What?'
Manager:
'Get this. A two dollar bill.'
Guard (incredulous): 'Why
would a guy fake a two dollar b ill?'
Manager: 'I
don't know. He's kinda weird. He says the only other thing
he has is a fifty.'
Guard: 'Oh, so the fifty's
fake!'
Manager: 'No,
the two dollar bill is.'
Guard: 'Why would he fake
a two dollar bill?'
Manager:
'I don't know! Can you talk to him, and get him out of
here?'
Guard: 'Yeah.'
Security Guard walks
over to me and......
Guard: 'Mike here tells me
you have some fake bills you're trying to
use.'
Me:
'Uh, no.'
Guard: 'Lemme see
'em.'
Me: 'Why?'
Guard:
'Do you want me to get the cops in
here?'
At
this point I am
ready to say, ' Sure, please!' but I want to eat,
so I
say,
'I'm just trying to buy a burrito and pay for it with this
two dollar bill.
I put the bill up near his face, and
he flinches like I 'm taking a swing at him. He takes
the bill, turns it over a few times in his hands, and he
says, 'Hey, Mike, what's wrong with this
bill?'
Manager:
'It's fake'
Guard: 'It doesn't look fake to
me.'
Manager:
'But it's a two dollar bill.'
Guard: 'Yeah?
'
Manager:
'Well, there's no such thing, is there?'
The security
guard and I both look at him like he's an idiot, and it
dawns on the guy that he has no clue.
So, it turns
out that my burrito was free, and he threw in a small drink
and some of those cinnamon thingies, too. Made me want
to get a whole stack of two dollar bills just to see what
happens when I try to buy stuff If I got the right group of
people, I could probably end up in jail. You get free food
there, too.
Just
think...those two will be voting
soon"
