Can you change a million?

LEXINGTON, N.C. -- Do you have change for a million-dollar bill?


Police say a North Carolina man insisted his million-dollar note was real when he was buying $476 worth of items at a Walmart.

Investigators told the Winston-Salem Journal that 53-year-old Michael Fuller tried to buy a vacuum cleaner, a microwave oven and other items. Store employees called police after his insistence that the bill was legit, and Fuller was arrested.

The largest bill in circulation is $100. The government stopped making bills of up to $10,000 in 1969.

Fuller was charged with attempting to obtain property by false pretense and uttering a forged instrument. He is in jail on a $17,500 bond, and it isn't clear if he has an attorney. He is scheduled to be in court Tuesday.

A New Rule ..on reporting the news... (formulated by Stuart G)

Rule Number One



At any given time in the United States of America, there are over 300 million people. You can find any behavior of any kind from
those 300 million and report it. Any kind from the very kindest to the very meanest. From the nuttest to the most focused and careing. From the most reasonable to the most bizarre.,,
From the worst kind of lies, to the most honest thoughts.

From the very smartest to the very dumbest...(here is where this one comes in)

If you want to report some behavior, just look hard enough..it is there... and it is ok to report it.

important addition:
This rule applies also for any country with a large population.
(or any country with humans for that matter... )

The ten countries with the largest population in world are:
China, India, United States, Indonesia, Brazil, Pakistan,
Bangladesh, Nigeria, Russia and Japan.

thank you
