More proof we need a bridge to Maine so we can avoid New Hampshire

Overmatter reports a New Hampshire toll collector (oh, right, New Hampshire doesn't mind tolls on its borders - as long as it's the one collecting the money) accused her of counterfeiting a $5 bill:

... It was New Hampshire, so I wasn't surprised when she didn't smile back, but I was taken aback when she didn't give me my change right away. Instead, she held my bill up to the light in the tollbooth. "This looks awfully thin for a five-dollah bill," she said. ...

What's wrong with New Hampshire that they think anybody would go to the bother of counterfeiting $5 bills?

Little known fact, NH has

Little known fact, NH has its own money system. She was trying to calculate the exchange from a 5 dollar bill to the toll which is 12 acorns and a mule.

I would love it

I would like that too. My Friday commute back to NH would be so much nicer without all the Massholes.

(tongue in cheek, thanks)

If you're from New Hampshire it couldn't be in your teeth...

I'm originally from MA, only moved north of the border in '05 and haven't looked back. Still work in MA but hope to move my company so I don't have to pay any more income tax.
