Re: Man attempts to cash check for $360 billion

Did dude even bring a bag to carry it all in? Did he think ahead at all?

I know it's surprising, but I don't think he did.

Re: Man attempts to cash check for $360 billion

This reminds me of a joke I heard the other day....

Man walks into a bank and robs it.

On his way out of the bank, the robber says to a guy on the ground "Did you see me rob the bank?" Guy answers "Yes". Robber shoots the guy.

Robber says to another guy on the ground "Did you see me rob the bank?" Guy answers "No, but my wife did."

And a firearm to boot.

That's extra style points right there.

Re: Man attempts to cash check for $360 billion

I know I shouldn't be thinking this far ahead...but why start a record company when you have 360 billion? Shouldn't you be buying an island and starting your own country?

Yeah, get it straight, GAC. If it had been 36 million like you said, it might have worked.

I received a 6/29/2007 earning statement for the amount of $59,796.78

(I know that's chump change for most of you guys...wrong decimal point in the "hours worked" column...and yes, it was direct-deposited into my checking account...fortunately, payroll "corrected" it before I got audited)

I also have an uncashed money order from some guy in Nigeria...but hey, who doesn't?

For the life of me, I still can't figure out how this guy's plan went heywire.

Why would he need a bag? He figured they'd just give him three 120 billion dollar bills.
