> Server:  "A $2 bill. This guy just gave it to me."

> Server:  "Yeah, thought so."  He comes back to me and says, "We don't

> Me:  "Just this fifty.  You don't take $2 bills?  Why?"
> Server:  "I don't know."
> Me:  "See here where it says legal tender?"
> Server:  "Yeah."
> Me:  "So, why won't you take it?"

> Server:  "Well, hang on a sec."  He goes back to his manager, who has

> Manager:  "Doesn't he have anything else?"

> Manager:  "I'm not opening the safe with him in here."
> Server:  "What should I do?"
> Manager: "Tell him to come back later when he has real money."
> Server:  "I can't tell him that!  You tell him."
> Manager:  "Just tell him."
> Server:  "No way!  This is weird.  I'm going in back."

> Me:  "It's only seven o'clock!  Well then, here's a two dollar bill."
> Manager:  "We don't take those, either."
> Me:  "Why not?"
> Me:  "No really, tell me why."
> Manager:  "Please leave before I call mall security."
> Me:  "What on earth for?"
> Manager:  "Please, sir."
> Me:  "Uh, go ahead, call them."
> Manager:  "Would you please just leave?"
> Me:  "No."
> Manager:  "Fine -- have it your way then."

> Guard:  "No kidding!  What?"
> Manager:  "Get this .. A two dollar bill."
> Manager:  "I don't know.  He's kinda weird.  He says the only other

> Guard:  "Oh, so the fifty's fake!"
> Manager:  "No, the two dollar bill is."
> Guard:  "Why would he fake a two dollar bill?"
> Guard: "Yeah."

> Me:  "Uh, no."
> Guard:  "Lemme see 'em."
