oh come on... if you are going to go out in style, don't go to your local WalMart
and try to get change from a $1 million dollar bill. Go buy lots of lottery tickets
or visit your local authorized Bentley dealer in another country. Come on
be creative, you have a $1 million dollar bill! :)

I'd have said "I'm sorry, I don't have change for any bill over $100,000. Is gold bullion OK? I'll have to have the manager open the vault..." -LB

I'd have said "I'm sorry, I don't have change for any bill over $100,000. You'll need to go pick out some more merchandise..." till the cops arrived. -LB
