And they say there is no inflation ...
http://www.bostonherald.com/news/offbeat......=1185040 A New Hampshire man says he swiped his debit card at a gas station to buy a pack of cigarettes and was charged over 23 quadrillion dollars. Josh Muszynski checked his account online a few hours later and saw the 17-digit number — a stunning $23,148,855,308,184,500 (twenty-three quadrillion, one hundred forty-eight trillion, eight hundred fifty-five billion, three hundred eight million, one hundred eighty-four thousand, five hundred dollars).

That's not inflation; that's part of the new healthcare package. Smokers cause a disproportionate burden on the system, so it's only fair.

Guess they forgot to tell Bill Buckley. "...as we reason and love, we are able to hope. And hope enables us to resist those things that would enslave us." |

Holy smokes! With that money, he could pay off the national debt and the entire WORLDS debt several times over!
Must be AWFUL good smokes for that price!
The difficult must become easy, the easy beautiful and the beautiful magical.

One day computers are gonna kill the economy even worse than greedy people can...
turns out it was a programming glitch, the man's total (I believe it was $12.50) in text somehow got converted into hexadecimal, which translated back as the multi-quadrillion figure. |

I had a guy charge me $1,298.00 for two sandwiches and he actually said since it went through it was too late and the money was his! Let me just say he cancelled the transaction.
