<p>[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 1146874, member: 24633"]A few years ago, a man was taken to the station by Baltimore Police for supposedly passing counterfeit $2 notes. He was a tour bus driver who routinely transported children during the summer to various amusement parks. Upon arrival, he would give each child a $2 bill for spending money. One particularly slow week, he had a bunch of them left over, so he decided to pay for his breakfast at McDonalds with some of them. The girl at the register looked at them oddly and told the man she couldn't accept them because they were counterfeit. He tried to convince her that they were real, and she finally summoned the manager who agreed that they were counterfeit. The customer was beginning to get irritated and the manager summoned the Baltimore Police. When the police arrived, they were shown the bills and agreed that they were counterfeit because the US doesn't make $2 bills. The customer was then transported to the police station where several other officers were shown the bills including the duty sergeant and the watch commander. Finally, they called the Secret Service and informed them they had a suspect who had been passing counterfeit $2 bills. Secret Service agents were dispatched from Washington, DC, and when they finally arrived a few hours later, they were shown the counterfeit bills and they asked, "What's wrong with them?" Naturally, the "suspect" filed suit naming McDonalds and the Baltimore Police Department as defendants. Needless to say, they both settled out of court for what was expected to be a sizeable sum.</p><p> </p><p>NOW, EVERYBODY IN BALTIMORE CARRIES $2 BILLS WITH THEM!</p><p> </p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
