- unicronband, on 10/11/2007, -5/+225"The girls are back out on the street selling lemonade, but their trust in people is broken."
They had to learn lesson that sooner or later. - ChocChunkOaties, on 10/11/2007, -9/+219This woman deserves a running kick to her reproductive organs.
- thedogmatist, on 10/11/2007, -12/+157kids got schooled
- erikwithaknotac, on 10/11/2007, -4/+135So that's how i can get rid of these fake bills....
- simdac, on 10/11/2007, -14/+120That is absolutely horrible. But on the other hand, how can you say that the women robbed the kids if maybe the women themselves didn't know that they had a counterfeit bill, and maybe they were actually trying to give a nice tip?
- jhsiao, on 10/11/2007, -10/+73to quote Ron Burgundy: "I'm gonna punch you in the ovary, that's what I'm gonna do. A straight shot. Right to the babymaker."
- tehpwnrate, on 10/11/2007, -1/+51I'm wondering if it was an obvious fake, since the father figured it out.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -4/+47Apparently you are a dumb-ass. The woman was originally going to pay with a 10, but asked if they could break a 50. All they had was $38.00 and she accepted it. The kids thought the $12.00 was going to be a big tip from a nice person.
Maybe you should dig you head out of your ass - khorbin, on 10/11/2007, -2/+42Kids: never take candy or bills larger than $20 from strangers...
- HarryBauzonia, on 10/11/2007, -4/+41It's probable that the lady didn't know it was fake either.
I received a fake 20 from an ATM just two months ago, and it was discovered when I went to pay for gas. - lithuin, on 10/11/2007, -1/+35There's probably a joke here involving the phrase, "When life gives you lemons." $10 to the first person who thinks of it. I'll need change though, I only have a $50 bill.
- templest, on 10/11/2007, -3/+36LOL! ...look, I know I'll be considered a dick for saying this, but...
...that's a damn creative way of laundering money. - evanfrey, on 10/11/2007, -11/+43Lemon-aid Seller: But Mister I need real money, I can't take a credit card.
Peter: Oh I see cash only, huh huh? No paper trail huh? Whatcha selling? Reefer? Crack? Smack? Horse? X? Shrooms? Dust? Meth? In my neighborhood? I don't think so! - TKn00b, on 10/11/2007, -4/+35http://misers.org/pictures/SomethingAwful/20050920-lol/lmaonade.gif
- TheKricket, on 10/11/2007, -1/+31dzeligman - DUCK! something just flew right over your head!
- DaedalusX, on 10/11/2007, -11/+40Girl: I can't take a credit card sir. I need real money.
Peter: Oh yeah? Watcha sellin'? Meth, ex, crack, dust, coke, block, crystal????? IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD? I DONT THINK SO!!!! - DarkTranquility, on 10/11/2007, -0/+24Dave, your forgetting, people don't read articles, they just blindly comment on it.
- nicepants, on 10/11/2007, -5/+27That's what they get for charging $12 for a lemonade? Who was robbing who?
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -1/+22No, a slew of donations would encourage more people who just learned a basic life lesson to feel they are entitled to a guest spot on Oprah and a new car.
However, if you truly feel that way - I've been hurt by society (can't you feel the anger in my posts?), and will send my paypal ID over for your generosity. - zyl0x, on 10/11/2007, -1/+20Welcome to Earth, children. You woke up earlier than most.
- ScottMaximus1, on 10/11/2007, -1/+20It probably had her picture in the portrait
- mcclelland, on 10/11/2007, -9/+27The women didn't necessarily know the 50$ was counterfeit..
- pacman099, on 10/11/2007, -4/+22Incorrect, the kids are technically self-employed. Therefore they fall under different regulation. They don't have to report income unless they have net earnings of 400 dollars or more. If the girls operate as partners, then the max would be 800 dollars.
Refer to the following publication: http://www.ssa.gov/pubs/10022.html - radish01001, on 10/11/2007, -1/+19They should have invoked the "bottomless mug" policy!
- tnoy, on 10/11/2007, -2/+18Everytime I start to regain faith in humanity, I hear about ***** like this.
- theholycow, on 10/11/2007, -0/+16I can't believe what a bunch of nerds we are. We're looking up "money laundering" in a dictionary.
- themastersb, on 10/11/2007, -2/+17How about a FALCON PUNCH!!!!!
- tnoy, on 10/11/2007, -0/+15Sorry for the comment abuse, but here is a small followup: http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories.pl?ACCT=104&STORY=/www/story/07-19-2007/0004629113&EDATE=
- goblindegook, on 10/11/2007, -2/+17And for $38, they got it cheap too.
- capps, on 10/11/2007, -3/+17why would he duck if this flew over his head? i think the danger has passed =)
- 10001110101, on 10/11/2007, -6/+20That sucks. Too bad there isn't more contact information - a slew of donations could restore their faith.
@unicronband - yes, that lesson has to be learned, but ideally, it's later on in life, when you have a few more tools to cope with the ***** of humanity. (ie: drugs & alcohol) - holysocks, on 10/11/2007, -3/+16important life lesson
- ynggrsshppr, on 10/11/2007, -0/+12I don't know about the rest of you, but I think using a $50 bill to purchase a drink at a lemonade stand run by kids is a bit strange.
- MrsButtersworth, on 10/11/2007, -5/+17*****.
The women, that is. Not the kids. - jstanden, on 10/11/2007, -0/+12When life gives you lemons... make sure they're real
- TomFrost, on 10/11/2007, -0/+11Hello. I am a recovering crack addict and I am selling these magazines subscriptions...
- brundlefly76, on 10/11/2007, -1/+11Good counterfeits can make a few passes before anyone notices - it doesnt really say anything about the quality of the bill - the woman may have been just as clueless as the kids were.
- Lister169, on 10/11/2007, -0/+9I'll send your change as soon as it dries.
- CannedMango, on 10/11/2007, -4/+13Don't you know how lynch mobs work? Guilty until proven innocent.
- licoricewhip, on 10/11/2007, -0/+9They can't tell what a fake $50 dollar bill looks like.
- MacGyver2210, on 10/11/2007, -1/+10Make sure they're not spraypainted limes?
- BadassCheese, on 10/11/2007, -0/+9What am I going to do with 40 subscriptions to Vogue?
- novahh, on 10/11/2007, -2/+10I'd like to think that, but breaking a fifty at a lemonade stand where all the kids are likely to have are ones and the occasional ten or twenty that someone else broke, not to mention how much change they were off by (12 or so dollars?!) seems pretty suspicious. If she had a ten, the thing most people would do is use that ten for lemonade, maybe leave the whole ten as a tip if she were feeling generous, and use the fifty somewhere else and get less one dollar bills back in return.
- gordeaoux, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8Cause it doesn't hurt to punch a girl in the vagina. Idiot.
- JOjimBO, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8Well the coffee stand down the road doesn't take anything larger then a $20. Who the hell goes up to some kids selling lemonade and tries to break a 50??? Sounds like she knew exactly what she was doing, taking advantage of naive kids. Hope bees fly up her honey hole.
- mywhitenoise, on 10/11/2007, -1/+9Of course she knew. Like she was going to to give them a $12 tip.
- meatmcguffin, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8Congratulations. You've made the first post on Digg that criticises grammar while containing no spelling or grammar mistakes.
I bet quite a few people scrutinised your post in case they can make a comment starting with "that's ironic because...." - jhuang16888, on 10/11/2007, -2/+9That was some good lemonade...
- honeymustardn, on 10/11/2007, -2/+9Except she was stealing MONEY from CHILDREN.
