Reply #178: I think its because you have Wicca in your username...

Yes, male Wiccans exist people! Oh, by the way, Blessed Be and I found the story funny, a similar thing happened to me back when I was 17. I just cashed a paycheck and was paying for gas at a station here in Missouri, without one of those signs notifying you of that they don't accept 50s or 100s. Anyway, all I had was a couple of hundreds and a fifty, my job sucked. :)

So I go in to pay with the smallest bill I had, a fifty, the gas was around 20 bucks, ah the good ole days! The clerk refused the money, and said she would take my ID and let me go to get change. Being stupid I did just that, and I ended up getting pulled over on my way back to my parent's house to get the change. I explained to the cop why I didn't have my driver's license, he said that was illegal, and I ended up taking a ride back to the station in the back of his cop car, at least I wasn't handcuffed. :)

We both walk in, and he started screaming at the clerk for "contributing to the delinquency of a minor", he then said he didn't see a damned sign for not accepting 50s, accept it now or forget about it. The clerk, being shaken, still refused my 50, the cop then gave me back my ID, and then told me to use the fifty to fix my damned taillight(the reason I was pulled over) and not worry about the gas bill.

I still felt guilty about not paying the gas, so after the cop left, I drove to my parent's house and got change, then went back to the gas station, the store owner showed up by then, I think the clerk called him, and when I explained I came back to pay, he refused, saying don't worry about it. Never heard about it again.
