Tired of that joke? How about "Thanks for thinking I might be a counterfeiter. Will you be doing a full cavity search next? :eek: "
I always wanted checks that would really stretch as you pull them out of the checkbook. Then I’d have a reason to write more than 3-4 a year.
Well I’m guilty of credit card dorkism.
Most clerks swipe the card and ignore any messages on the available view screen. They usually just look at the reciept printer and wait for it to print.
In my dorky way I stare intently at the view screen and act like I’m reading aloud, “keep card…call police”.
I gotta quit that.
Hmm. Are you sure you have a sense of humor?
Wolfian I think you might be right. I suppose over these last few years working at a grocery store has really left me with a distain for stupid customers. Unfortunately, the collective reading level of my customers is on a steady decline.
So just because no one is getting hurt, that makes counterfeiting any less serious? I think making a joke about robbing a gas station is as serious as making a joke about a bomb on a plane or a needle in your pocket to a cop. Thats my whole point. THIS JOKE ISN’T FUNNY.
I do know alot of idiot cashiers. But I’m certainly not one of them. I’m also not demanding some kind of God like admiration and appreciation. My job is an entry level job that only serves the purpose of paying my tuition to school.
I noticed the other day my grocery store has started checking all bills, including fives.
Even humorless people think they have a sense of humor.
Personally, I’m upset I can’t joke about bombs on airplanes. But if they take away my dead baby jokes, that will be the last straw. I’ll print up a bunch of counterfeit c-notes and strap them to a bomb and hop on the next plane full of obese illegal immigrants and persecuted Catholics.
In Russia, Pit sees Yakov Smirnoff joke in you!
Ahem, let’s see here:
(in approximate order)
The Holocaust
AIDS
World War I
The Vietnam War
Jeffrey Dahmer
Little kids with leukemia
“Are you going to be walking out to your car alone tonight?”
Cop getting poked by needles while patting someone down
A spilled toner cartridge
Fake $50 bill
Sitting on a CD and breaking it
Losing my Chap-stick
Hmmmm, I’d say you need to get a touch of perspective on your whole tragedy/comedy scale. If South Park tells me that I can joke about AIDS and The Holocaust, I’m having trouble raising my sense of outrage for people making quips about fake fiddies’.
Hah! I do that one too. Clerks must hate me.
That’s not funny.
I think its funny.
Actually, I think Surbey is, in a roundabout way, pitting his father for making him work while going to college thus forcing him to deal with the “ignernts” here in our home town.
Btw Bucko, don’t you have homework or something to do besides bothering the nice folks here in the Pit? I’m sure your room needs cleaned or the lawn needs mowed or your computer area needs straightened up.
The Surb
Surbey, I agree with you. I don’t understand the mentality of people who stand there and say they are commiting a crime and expect you to find it amusing. Ah well.
Trust me, it’s not. I have a sense of humor, so I should know.
Since you think it’s funny, you must not have a sense of humor.
I recently handed the drive thru cashier at our local Burger King one of the brand new $10 bills that were recently released. She took one look at it and handed it back saying:
“I can’t take this, it’s too fake!”
We had to convince her it was brand new currancy that had just been released and then she accepted it. Which made me think, if you want to pass a fake bill there, just tell em its brand new and thats why it looks like monopoly money. 
In the past, after getting a confirmation number for a credit card purchase, I’ve been known to shout, “Woo-hoo! Fooled 'em for another 30 days!” 
Sorry, I was channeling RD Lang for a bit there.
