$200 Bush Bills?

[Mark]

GREENSBURG, Pennsylvania (AP) -- Charges have been dropped against a woman who paid for clothes with a fake $200 bill that featured President Bush's picture and the serial number DUBYA4U2001.

Westmoreland County prosecutors dropped all charges Friday against Deborah L. Trautwine, 51, after she paid the store in real currency.

Trautwine wasn't aware that the bill wasn't actual legal tender, said her attorney, Harry Smail Jr.

A clerk at a Fashion Bug clothing store also apparently was fooled by the funny money.

She gave Trautwine $100.58 in change following an August transaction.

There is no $200 denomination bill, even without Bush's picture on it.

The back of the phony bill depicted the White House with several signs erected on the front lawn, including those reading "We Like Broccoli" and "USA Deserves A Tax Cut."

Yeah, I remember reading that. The topic was like "Is it just me or are clerks getting lazy?" This is hilarious.

I know why you think that. There are millions of these stories about fake money.

I wouldn't be surprised if the person that didn't notice it was his face voted for him.

That's cause this is the third time that someone has done this, and made off with purchases and money... The other two times occured at a Taco Bell ($3.00 worth of food was bought, with $197 change given) and a Food Lion grocery store ($150 in groceries, $50 in change)... The idiocy of some people :lol: :D
