Thank you, Cousin Saul!

So I go into the post office this morning to mail two packages.

CLERK: "That will be $21.40."

So I hand the broad a fifty dollar bill.

She looks at the bill.

She holds it up to the light.

Then she takes out one of those counterfeit bill detector pens and makes a mark on my fifty dollar bill.

She holds it back up to the light.

I look at her.

She puts the fifty in her cash drawer and hands me my change....two tens, a five, three ones and some coin.

ME: "May I see that pen?"

She doesn't blink. She hands me the pen.

I start making marks on the paper money. Then the coins.

CLERK: "Sir...what are you doing?"

ME: "I'm seeing if these are counterfeits."

CLERK: "Why would I give you counterfeit money?"

ME: "Why would I?"

I would just like to thank Cousin Saul for placing this idea in my head. I've been waiting to use it.
