Paying With a Million Dollar Bill

 

By Elton Camp

 

(This is absolutely a true story.  Google it and see if you think not.)

 

In North Carolina, a man went to Wal-Mart for a deal

To make payment, he gave a million dollar bill as real

 

When the cashier, in disbelief, commenced to protest,

Customer, “Give my change if you know what’s best.”

 

Why, that fellow would have had to be just a total jerk

For there was absolutely no way that trick could work

 

Even if the cashier it had proved possible to deceive,

The register held change for a million, who’d believe?

 

Very soon the cops arrived and ushered him out the door

Manager said, “Don’t you ever try to shop here anymore.”

 

Now the customer two serious felonies has to face

Is likely to be sent to prison in ignominious disgrace

 

The hundred dollar bill is the largest note in existence

To present one for a million was a foolish insistence
