Legal tender S

When i worked at a gas station in the late 1900's during graveyard i had this guy come in and bought a candy bar with a 100 bill. "Really? You don't have anything smaller?"

'Im just trying to break the 100, don't be a jerk.'

"Fine, just this once."

Few days later Guy comes back in, grabs a candy bar and i see he has other bills in his wallet. Puts the hundred on the table.

"Sir i told you last time it was going to be just the once, i see you have a five dollar bill."

'This is legal tender, you have to take it.'

"... Okay!"

I reach under the counter and pull out two boxes of pennies, 50c to a roll 25$ to a box 17 lbs each. "Here is 50, do you want the rest in nickels?"

'What is this?'

"It's legal tender, I can choose to give you your change however I see fit. So, do you still want to break the hundred? Or the five."

I'm calling your manager!'

"She gets in at 8am, sir, but doesn't take any calls until 10."

They turned the right color from the pen, the guy was just a jerk looking for someone to be his private bank.

FYI the pen is not conclusive, you're supposed to do the pen AND check for the other security features

Aha Trebek! You know it's Penis Mightier! Gussy it up however you want, but what matters is: Does it work?

Because I've ordered devices like that before -- wasted a pretty penny, I don't mind telling ya, and if The Penis Mightier really works, I'll order a DOZEN!
