A 35-year-old man was arrested in Buffalo, NY, this week after attempting to pay for French fries with a fake $50 bill. His method of disposing of the counterfeit money: eating it. Needless to say, it didn't work. Larry Jones was at an amusement park, and when everyone came to the conclusion that something was strange about his method of payment, he tried his very best to consume $1,200 worth of fake $50 bills. That's 24 bills, folks.

Maybe his last-ditch attempt at saving himself was inspired by Big Kuntry's My Turn to Eatalbum artwork (second image). Anyway, he was charged with criminal possession of a forged instrument and tampering with physical evidence—both felonies.
