Default Can You Believe This???

Saw this on tv today. FOR ONLY $19.95 (plus shipping & handling mind you), you can buy 2 very special $2 bills. One is called the Yellowstone & the other the Grand Canyon. Each has it's own "very special picture" on the bill & trimmed with gold. They even come to you enclosed in something that protects those "special bills" from being ruined by rain, snow, your dog peeing on them or whatever acts of God that might possibly happen. In addition, you even get a FREE certificate that will authenticate the fact that your bills are REAL!!! WOW!!! And get THIS, there is no limit as to how many you can buy- ALTHOUGH, this is a limited time offer from some company with mint in the name & you must pay separate shipping & handling for each one. I'm going to start my Xmas shopping today.

I believe it was P.T. Barnum who once said "you'll never go broke underestimating the poor taste of the American public"... If not, please correct me if I'm wrong.

p.s. Did the ad say they are packaged and shipped by Amish farmers in Ohio? I have to laugh every time I see those ads for the so-called 'miracle heaters'...

If you are so inclined there is a place that sells genuine Faux Pearls.

And, if you are into Faux, you can also get a genuine Faux Leather Wallet.

brokepick, now you have me thinking. The offer I saw today or the one you you posted??? Decision time. What to do. Sometimes life can get really, really tough. I hate making decisions like this.

He also said " There's a sucker born every minute".

You're hilarious! Thanks for the laughs!

If I were you, I'd go for those mindboggling $2 bills... Those are too good to be true! I think I'll get a pair of them for all of my family members for Christmas. Thank you for sharing this once-in-a-lifetime discovery... My Christmas shopping is now done!
