And the winner for "Idiot of the Year!"

AIKEN, S.C. - A bank teller in Clearwater had a million reasons not to open an account for an Augusta, Ga., man Monday, authorities said. Alexander D. Smith, 31, was charged with disorderly conduct and two counts of forgery after he walked into the bank and tried to open an account by depositing a fake $1 million bill, said Aiken County Sheriff's spokesman Lt. Michael Frank.
The employee refused to open the account and called police while the man started to curse at bank workers, Frank said.
The second forgery charge came after investigators learned Smith bought several cartons of cigarettes from a nearby grocery store with a stolen check, Frank said.
The federal government has never printed a million-dollar bill, Frank said.

Clever crooks
A couple of others -- (can't vouch for their truth):
--A masked man handed a bank teller a holdup note. It was written on the back of one of his own deposit slips.
--A young guy held up a liquor store, demanding money and booze. The clerk said he'd have to show his ID for the liquor. He did.
