MARCH 9--Meet Alice Regina Pike. The 35-year-old Georgia woman must think Wal-Mart cashiers are rather dumb, because she actually just tried to pass a $1 million bill at one of the retail chain's megastores.

According to this amusing Covington Police Department report, Pike was attempting to pay for $1671.55 in merchandise, but a Wal-Mart clerk called over her manager when she was handed the bogus bill (instead of handing over $998,328.45 in change). As first reported by Joey Peters of the Newton Citizen, Pike was arrested for forgery and booked into the sheriff's lockup, where the below mug shot was taken.

Pike, who told cops that her husband had given her the $1 million bill, was found to have two more phony seven-figure notes in her purse. Perhaps she would have fared better with a $200 bill.

Wow, those are some bushy brows!

Only the long hair hints at XX.

[ZinGirl]

Good God...why didn't she take her "million" to the Estee Lauder counter at the mall...

[HEY4QDEMS]

Howard Dean in drag. eeeeaaarrrrrgh!!!!

[rewrite]

She doesn't have a family tree .....she has a family stump!

[DoctorMichael]

Idjit.

[Hank Rearden]

It's the same guy. Just different moods.

[b4its2late]

She has a family tree all right.... It just doesn't have a fork in it...... :-)

[null and void]

Only the long hair hints at XX.The hair line isn't the "M" of a male. Anybody can grow long hair.

[Bella_Bru]

OMG! Someone please get her an appointment fast to do someting about those eyebrows! She looks like she has caterpillars growing on her face!

[LN2Campy]

that's a MAN, baby!

[MrB]

Obviously a math whiz that understands the orders of magnitude between 1000 and 1000000....

$998,330 in change?

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Someone please get her an appointment fast to do someting about those eyebrows!

Apparently the beauty salon and day spa don't take $1 million billes either.

[Bella_Bru]

Guess not.

[CJ Wolf]

"My job was outsourced, but I got 3 million in severance"

[azhenfud]

"Good God...why didn't she take her 'million' to the Estee Lauder counter at the mall..."

Cause she was interested in getting some "change" back.

[Landru]

Just look at that face.

...so gifted.

[Victor]

I've wondered for a long time...what is the largest denomination bill that is printed by the US mint? Anyone?

[DooDahhhh]

Aren't her eyes a little close together?

[Old Professer]

One mints coins and prints bills. $1000 is the largest I've personally seen.

[Bikers4Bush]

Do my eyes deceive me or does she have a female mullet?

[PBRSTREETGANG]

The largest ever printed was $100,000, but it was only for banks.

The largest ever produced for the general public was $10,000.

The largest denomination bill produced today is the $100.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

At least she's happy.

[Mike Darancette]

File Under: What Was I Thinking?

Hey, it's only gotta work once.

[azhenfud]

"Wow, those are some bushy brows!"

And I thought they were wooly worms over her eyes.

[Charles Henrickson]

Good thing she doesn't have a widow's peak. Then it would be . . .

Pike's Peak.

[Bella_Bru]

Do my eyes deceive me or does she have a female mullet?

That's what I thought too.

All business in the front....

[Charles Henrickson]

Yes, it's a femullet.

[Bella_Bru]

I'm really hoping she intended on buying some conditioner with her million.

[Constitution Day]

All the Estee Lauder counters in all the malls in all the world wouldn't help that mug.

[evets]

Got change for a $100,000?

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Note: They also stopped printing the $500, $1,000, $5,000 and $10,000 bills in 1969 as these were used primarily by banks as well and were made obsolete by electronic transfers.

When I was in high school, one of our teachers took us on a field trip to the capital in Tallahassee. We got to meet the Governor, Haydon Burns, but the thing I remember best is the State Treasury.

The Treasurer showed us a genuine $10,000 bill. I forget why they had it but I did notice a revolver on a shelf near the money.

BTW this woman must have been incredibly stupid. How did she think they were going to give her change? Maybe 9 one hundred thousand bills and a few ten thousand ones?

[lelio]

Can the photoshop inclined please edit this image to say something like "Democrat Party Registration Card"?

[BadAndy]

LOL, man you got that right.

[hosepipe]

Democrats.?...
(Eddie Murphy laugh)

[dead]

John Kerry heard about her $1,000,000 bill and proposed.

[veronica]

It would be a woman with a mullett.

LMAO....

[BadAndy]

Joe Dirt's sister??

[No Blue States]

Add a little warpaint and she could audition as William Wallace in Braveheart 2.

no offence to mel.

[redhead]

Oooh...nice moustache...

[steveo]

dang...

[PBRSTREETGANG]

The Treasurer showed us a genuine $10,000 bill.

That's pretty cool. The Federal Reserve now retires and destroys all bills above $100 that they receive.

[LibWhacker]

Trailer park!

[keithtoo]

I think you're right. Where's that Swedish chick he used to be with?

[Agnes Heep]

Is this really counterfeiting? How do you counterfeit a bill that doesn't exist? Sounds more like simple fraud to me, or at best a stupid joke.
