Okay, not gonna lie - I registered just so I could post this story, because it cracks me up every time I tell it.
These teenage girls come up to my counter to pay for things, and, as is often common with this breed, one pays in almost $30 of singles - and ends up using a $2 bill. One of her friends asks to look at it, and this is, I kid you not, what followed.
Teenage Customer: "Who's this?" (pointing to the portrait of Thomas Jefferson - whose name is right below, though in small print, so I give her a pass)
Me: "Jefferson."
TC: "But he's not a president."
Me: *blink*
TC (to her friends): "He's not a president, right? ...And he's not even pretty."
God, what happens when she finds out the guy on her $10 bill wasn't president either? Wait, why am I saying either - in all her years at school, she never made it to #3 on the list of U.S. presidents? I mean, the guy's no Millard Fillmore. I don't even want to tell her about Benjamin Franklin - her poor head might explode.
My friend's sister had the best response ever to this story, though: "I wish I could afford to be that dumb." Sad, but oh so true.
