The bank called my bluff
Feb. 9th, 2011 01:23 pmToday I went to my bank to pick up a bunch of $2 bills. I'd ordered them and they were waiting for me. While I was waiting for the safe to open on its timer, I asked if they had any $1 coins, or 50 cent pieces, or anything else weird.
"yes, we have a bunch of $1 coins, how many do you want?"
"all of them." I said.
Now, a little history: The last time I said that I'd just deposited a big check, and when we played chicken I walked out of the bank with $600 in coins. It was somewhat more than I'd planned on, but I seriously won that game of chicken. They didn't believe me when I said "all of them", even when confronted with "we have a lot".
This time, however, I couldn't do it; or at least wouldn't. This time, "all of them" was $1,200 worth.
I still got a heavy pocket full, although far less than $1,200.
