I got thrown out of a bank branch this afternoon. Preparing for a trip, my banks have no branches in the area, so I stopped by a local branch of a national bank and asked if they would be so kind as to exchange a couple of 100 bills for lesser denominations. As I was not a customer, they refused, which I understood. But the manager came up and added "due to bank regulations". That's BS. I asked which regulation prohibited that transaction, and she replied "banking regulations only allow us to accept 100 dollar bills from customers". This is not true, and I told her so. Then added (which I probably shouldn't have) that they (the manager and teller) should have the courage to at least tell the truth, admit it is bank policy, and not throw the blame elsewhere. Only I didn't use the word courage, and that's when they asked me to leave. They even called the guard to make sure I left, which I did without protest.
That sounds like BS to me too. If you had time to kill you could open an account, deposit the $100 bills. Then do a withdrawal and ask for $20s, closing the account is there is a minimum balance required. I like that idea. And give them a big smile on your way out the door.

That looks like something that would be found at the MN State Fair, on a stick of course.
DW just returned from Chicago and brought me something called a "Long John."
Yes, that is a full strip of bacon on it, covered in a maple glaze.
Yes, it really is not that bad.

What is a Long John? A doughnut shaped like the one above, in these parts at least. Also called crullers.
It is true that scary looking things do not have to taste bad. However, taking the 1st bite either requires some courage, or the recognition of the constituents of the "thing", as in this case.DW just returned from Chicago and brought me something called a "Long John."

Nothing scary looking about a crueller with maple glaze and a slice of bacon. The only courage needed is to look at the scale and check the weight gain the next day.
