    If you consider that "mockery", I don't see how you can stand being on this board. :lol:

    This board is reasonably intelligent people calling each other retards. That's fine. The guy in question here is actually retarded. Having a news story in the paper to make fun of an actual retard is just low.

    That's really sad :(

    Also, you say how that bit didn't register on the "duh" part of the brain - SO MANY people looked at it and didn't see it. And the story didn't even mention that part, and no-one thought to put it in the letter saying it wasn't real. That's not right.

    You would think the banker would have pointed it out to him and not sent him to the Federal Reserve. :jayzus:

    Of course, we don't know the exact conversations...I mean his wife told him it wasn't real and he ignored her after all.

    There's a little country store just down the road a couple of miles from me that has one of these on the counter at the cash register. You win first place in the Red Forman Dumbass Awards if you can't figure out it's not real.

    Actually, when you ponder it, the sickest part is the reporter being a part of it, letting it happen and not helping the guy so that he could make bank on the guy's ignorance. :jayzus:

    Over two hours and we haven't had members of the Brigade of Atheists for Religious Freedom (BARF) comment on Christians preying on the poor and stupid? :ramen:

    I'm sorely disappointed. Especially at EuroForge. :jayzus:

    Look at the bright side: the way Obama is devaluing the dollar, these things might come in handy some day.

    I'm guessing it was because the teller was as much of an idiot as he is. I can't think of any other explanation.

    Maybe he thought the dumbshit wasn't worth arguing with.
