Hey kids, TJL here, with a new segment I like to call:
ROOMMATE UPDATE!
Okay, my roomie takes his unemployment check (Yes, he's still out of a job. His Mother and I are so disappointed.) to a local check cashing establishment, and when he gets home he realizes one of the twenty dollar bills is conterfeit!
I must admit, when you first look at it it certainly looks like a twenty, but when you hold it, you know its not real. The paper feels a bit funny, and they certainly tried to wrinkle and distress the bill to give it a more "lived in" look, but the color is faded, and the printing is a bit fuzzy.
My roommate is going to contact the Treasury Department and report the bill. I cetainly hope he doesn't return to that check cashing place.
So be wary kids. Always check your currency, lest you be duped.
This concludes the Roomate Update.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to pay someone the 20 bucks I owe him for the bet I lost on the Yanks/Sox series.
;)
