Clerk fooled by $200 bill with Bush's picture LOL

[No Mandate Here.]

This actually fits the LBN criteria, but should go into the humor section...

State police aren't laughing about the person who passed some funny money -- a $200 bill with President George W. Bush's picture on it -- at a women's clothing store.

Police yesterday charged ________________, 51, of Jeannette, with theft by deception for allegedly passing a bogus $200 bill at the Fashion Bug store in Hempfield Plaza on Aug. 22. There is no such denomination, even without Bush's picture on it.

Police said they didn't know how the clerk was taken in by the ruse, even though several other things about the bill should have been a dead giveaway.

Among other things, the bill had a hokey serial number -- DUBYA4U2001 -- and didn't bear the signature of the secretary of the treasury. Instead, the bill was "signed" by Ronald Reagan, whose title was "Political Mentor" and by Bush's father, who was listed as "Campaign Advisor and Mentor."

I removed the name of the perpetrator, but it is listed in the story. One of the odder things about living in Western Pennsylvania (home of Scaife and Snatorum) is the populous area called Hempfield Township, which is near Greensburg. The store clerk must have been living up to the township's name...
