MAN BUSTED WITH BILLION DOLLAR BILL!

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The counterfeit money looked good, but there was one flaw. There's no such thing as a one billion dollar bill.

U.S. Customs agents in California said on Tuesday they had found 250 bogus billion dollar bills while investigating a man charged with currency smuggling.

Tekle Zigetta, 45, pleaded guilty to three federal counts of trying to bring cash, phoney bills and a fake $100,000 (57,000 pound) gold certificate into the United States in January.

Further investigation led agents to a West Hollywood apartment where they found the stash of yellowing and wrinkled one billion dollar bills with an issue date of 1934 and bearing a picture of President Grover Cleveland.

"You would think the $1 billion denomination would be a giveaway that these notes are fake, but some people are still taken in," said James Todak, a secret services agent involved in the probe

What a knob!!

Dink is a term I just use often to describe someone stupid. I use the word a lot in real life too. :evil4:

Never heard it before now. Sounds a bit odd really, dunno why. Meh well.

Dink. Also a new word for me. Anyway, I knew that it was a sham from the start. Has anyone heard of common sense? I guess criminals don't know how to use it, either. :nonono:

We call that a croggy.....A Dink, or more often Doyle, are commonly used as minor insulting terms round our way..

Lift on bike=backy Dink? As in football 'a little dink into the box' is the only context I've heard it in, though that phrase may be in fact rather rude if some of the meanings suggested here are used!

Congrats to Boro, btw!
