In-Box Blog Fodder
Just when I thought my blogging day would go dry again this little gem landed in my in-box! I had to share…
IF YOU’RE AS OLD AS I AM, THIS IS A RIOT!Everyone should start carrying $2 bills! I am STILL laughing!!
Server: ‘That’ll be $1.04. Eat in?’
He goes to talk to his manager, who is still within my earshot.
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.’
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,
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.’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: ‘Please 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?’Guard: ‘No kidding! What?’
Manager: ‘Get this. A two dollar bill..’
Guard (incredulous): ‘Why would a guy fake a two dollar bill?’
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.’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.’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 and is an idiot ..
So, it turns out that my burrito was free, and he threw in a small drink and some of those cinnamon thingies, too.Just think..those two will be voting soon
….YIKES!!!If anyone know’s the author of this please let them know I published it here and would like to give them full credit!
