Million Dollar Goof !


So you might be asking what is the goof? Well the tract to the left is a gospel tract from Way of the Master.com and I actually have some of them myself that I have given them out to people. They are a great thing to leave with the person at the drive through of your favorite fast food.

However there is no such thing as a million dollar bill. Since 1969 the largest bill in circulation is the one hundred dollar bill. But stupid is as stupid does and a man in Pittsburgh, PA tried to pay for his groceries with it. Now I see a couple of problems here. First, if he read the back of the phony bill he would have read "Have you ever told a lie, stolen anything or used God's name in vain?" Well I would say that he broke all three of these 10 commandments trying to pass the bill off. He was lying that this was a real bill, he was trying to steal the groceries with funny money and I would bet he may have used God's name in vain when he got busted. Second, when was the last time that you saw a store cash register have change for a million dollars? My heavens you would be lucky to get for one hundred dollars.

So here is the article found on Fox News.com

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.

THINK ABOUT IT, AND READ THE WORD (DON'T BE HOODWINKED)
