Pennies from heaven????




Sometimes you just have to laugh... like after reading this article.

It turns out that Jason West disputed the $25 bill sent to him by Vernal, Utah's Basin Clinic. He decided to register his displeasure by paying the bill in pennies.

2500 of them.

He dumped the pennies on the counter at the clinic and demanded that they be counted to verify that his bill was paid in full. When the pennies spilled all over the place, the staff registered their displeasure with the police, who charged West with disorderly conduct.

The fine for disorderly conduct may run as high as $140... or, if you prefer, 14,000 pennies.

  8. I think he had every right to pay his bill in pennies - it is legal tender and they should have accepted it without calling the police. I think the lady at the medical office was just being a bitch. I agree the guy was just trying to make a point, but what a waste of police and tax payer's resources!!
    You, however, picked a FANTABULISTIC song to go with the story. Good for you... can't wait to see what you chose for next week.
    HUGS!
