How stupid can you get?
PHILADELPHIA - At first glance it looked like the real thing, so store clerk Kathryn Miller was happy to accept the $200 bill as payment — and even make change.

The bill did carry a picture of President Bush, but he is not one of the presidents who appear on U.S. currency. And in any case, there is no such thing as a $200 bill.

That did not stop Miller, who works at Fashion Bug, a women’s clothing store in Greensburg, Pa., from taking the bill in payment for an item costing $99.

3. There was a WalMart clerk who took a $200 bill
with a picture of Clinton on it. It was several years ago, when Clinton was president.

Some people never learn.

8. Never underestimate the stupidity or gullibility of the human mind.
But Barnum said it better. :)

13. I'd lean toward 'sucker,' unfortunately
Because I'm trusting — sometimes too much so. :blush:

And I lack the predatory gene to be one of the "two to take him."

14. There are always other options.
I think I'd put you into the "man with a good heart" category.
Of course, I may be wrong - but I may be right, too. :)

15. The person who paid with the $200 bill is either as stupid, or...
Edited on Tue Dec-27-05 12:55 AM by tuvor
...(more likely) a criminal.

But what invariably happens? The victim gets blamed. Even on DU. Wow.

17. Of course the person is most likely a criminal. Making false money is a
serious crime. But that doesn't mean his victim is smart.
