Norway Money Scam
Someone has absolutely no conception of how checks work
It's not every day that you read a news story that even the sensationalistic media cannot take seriously. I half expect to turn on the tv tonight and hear "Are Americans Losing Their Cents?? How the overuse of internet transactions is making people forget what money looks like (don't worry, it's still green) and what you can do to stop this crisis (board up windows and stock up on canned goods). An ABC News investigative report featuring Dr. Phil tonight at 7,"
Luckily, these two stories are so shockingly amazing that even journalists just have to stand back and laugh their asses off.

"The victim of the con, who was not identified, was reportedly told by the Frenchman to leave a mixture of real cash with blank bills to marinate in a special liquid overnight, and the next morning he would have double the amount of cash at his disposal."
I can only imagine what this magical "Marinade" looked like and the absolute self control that the Frenchman must have exercised as he tried to explain straight-faced how this process worked.
The article never specified that the marinade does not exist. The Frenchman clearly used the marinade and ran away with double the money. I've started dipping all my dough in Frank's Red Hot before it goes in my wallet. In an unrelated story, all my pants have red stains on the back right pocket.
Also, SMEARS Pat? At least Bee Lee nabbed a dignified title; yours is just a nickname that should belong to the dastardly dynamo.
I'm wondering how he might have come to the conclusion that basting legal tender with a zesty vinaigrette could ever produce some alchemistic reaction that would result in doubling its value. I mean, that's not even a get-rich-quick scheme. That's just stupidity.
The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and place it in your pocket... not to turn it into salad. Lesson learned, I guess.
