The 101 Dumbest Moments in Business (Numismatically Speaking)
This was too good not to pass on:
10. In fairness, though, they did turn away the $300 with Dennis Kucinich. A clerk at the Fashion Bug store in Greensburg, Pa., accepts a $200 bill—and gives the customer $100.58 in change—even though the bill is festooned with clues that it might not be legal tender, including a picture of President George W. Bush and the serial number DUBYA4U2001. 66. Who says Hollywood is full of witless jerks? It's the usual bartering at a location shoot: TV production in progress, homeowners noisily having trees trimmed, annoyed rep from the show paying them to stop. Here's the new twist added by producer Ronald Schwary: Agree to pay 'em a thousand bucks, but pay 'em with 100,000 pennies divided into 20 bags weighing 30 pounds each! Revenge! Ha-ha-ha! Paramount apologizes, offers to make the payment in a more manageable form, and donates $1,000 to charity. If anybody's interested in the other 99, here's the link: http://www.business2.com/b2/web/dumb...22933,,00.html Jerry |

The joke would've been on Paramount if that homeowner turned out to be Alan Williams. He'd laugh himself silly pawing through the bags looking for wheaties and Type 2s. -- Bob |
