Men: Is this a good investment?

[Gabriel Reproba]

I saw this commercial on TV and thought it might be too good to be true.

I read the fine print and yoy get a single $2 bill for only $10 (plus a reasonable $5.95 processing fee) and then you qualify for another FREE $2 bill (as long as you pay another reasonable $5.95 processing fee.) So you get TWO $2 bills for only $21.90!!

This sounds too good to be true for such a Godly thing as a brand new set of US two dollar bills. Is it?

Are you referring to those collector bills with the gold leaf applique?

Pretty spiffy enhancement of Godly US American currency, if you ask me. One step closer to getting the country back on the gold standard. I bet Palin has that on her list!!

Brother Gabriel, don't be too hasty to invest in this wonderful opportunity.

I have an idea that may result in you coming into possession of a nice little stack of these bank notes with only a modest investment of time.

While researching in my law library, I came across State v Warbucks, 1942, 4th District.

Mr. D. Warbucks as found guilty of war profiteering and was sentenced to a short prison term. The prosecutor, citing e pluribus unum homo erectus, demanded the death penalty.

Upon appeal the supreme court had the prosecutor shot and handed down guidelines for creative sentencing.

Now, here's where you come in. We haul people into court and demand their fines be paid in the two dollar bills you're looking at. They sit in jail until Fedex shows up with the boxes of currency.

You get paid your normal fees plus a performance bonus for lousy representation and I carve out some "modest" court costs.

Win-win.

Personally, I don't carry anything less than a c note. I will just say this, have you ever heard the expression queerer than a two dollar bill?

There has to be some kind of catch. There's no such thing as a free lunch, unless you are with Jesus witnessing a miracle (Mark 8:1-9).

Re: Men: Is this a good investment?

Well when you put it that way, I'd just go right ahead and order the maximum number of $2 bills! More for me and less for those Godless GEEKS who collect money just to kill time before they're cast into the pits of hell for relying on ScIeNce.

I'm going to order mine right now!

What is wrong with you people. It's a scam run by New England Mint, they're a private company not affiliated with the U.S. Government, the U.S. Treasury nor the Federal Bureau of Printing and Engraving. Do you even know what you're actually buying? I know Christians are gullible by nature but stop and think about this.

On second thought, order all you can from these people. They're guaranteed to only go up in value. In a few years you'll be rich beyond your wildest dreams. And feel free to send me $99.95 for the advice plus a $19.95 processing fee.

What is wrong with you Atheists? Just because you have no morals you assume everyone else to have no morals either. That's disgusting!

Steady now, not all atheists are immoral surely? I would agree with his statement, if it seems to good to be true it probably is.

Whoa, careful there. Looking at the statistics, you and your Christian friends are much more likely to end up in prison than me and my Atheist friends.

You're no better than a fundie when you start creating those 'us and them' mentalities. P.s. your likelihood to commit a crime is correlated with your spiritual beliefs? Post these statistics please.

Post these statistics please.

Why?? They're not in the Bible so what do you care?

1. You assumed I was a Christian
2. You assumed I follow the Bible verbatim
3. You assumed I can't also have a casual interest in statistics?

Please note that there are no Baptists on that list.

True Christians(tm) in prison: 0%
Hell bound sinners in prison: 100%
