2 West Virginia guys were laid off due to plant closing.
They needed money so they turned to counterfeiting
Once the bans were lifted, their local bar reopened and they immediately went to get a cold one.
After several round, they went to pay their tab.
After they handed the bartender some money, he gave them a wierd look and said
"What are you trying to do - there is no such thing as an $11 bill. You probably could pass them in Tennessee, but not here."
The 2 guys left. One said to the other " we printed 1000 of those bills, now what??'
The second guy said " you heard what Ted (the barkeep) said about Tennessee, lets go there.
A week later they returned from Tennessee and went back to their local bat.
One said to Ted, " you know you were right about spending $11 bills in Tennessee. It was easy as pie. They took all we had and gave us 2 - $4 bills and 1 - $3 bill for each of them" |
