An out-of-town visitor has been playing little tricks for fun and profit (his). He walked into a local garage and bought a quart of oil, paying for it with a $10 bill. The proprietor put the bill on the till and gave back small bills and silver. The gentleman asked if the garage owner had a $20 bill. He was given one which he paid for with 10 one-dol- lar bills and the $10 bill off the till. He left in a hurry, before the proprietor realized he had lost $10 in the exchange. A man answering the same description was not so lucky in a corner store. After making a 39-cent pur- chase, he was given change for a $20 bill. He slipped $10 in his pocket and said he was short changed. However the woman behind the coun- ter had sharp eyes and re- fused to give him any more money. He left without argu- ment. negotiations.
