Man Jailed for Trying to Pass Off $1M Bill

That's what a man was seeking Saturday when he handed a $1 million bill to a cashier at a Pittsburgh supermarket. But when the Giant Eagle employee refused and a manager confiscated the bogus bill, the man flew into a rage, police said.

The man slammed an electronic funds-transfer machine into the counter and reached for a scanner gun, police said.

Police arrested the man, who was not carrying identification and has refused to give his name to authorities. He is being held in the Allegheny County Jail.

3. I did that in a bar in Anchorage once.

I still have the fake $1,000,000 bill.

As I went to pay my bar bill, I noticed it in my wallet and thought it would be funny to offer it.
The cashier looked at it and got wide-eyed.
"I'm sorry, but there's NO way I can change that."
"Oh, OK. Maybe I've got something smaller here."
She thought it was real.
