He has obviously never read the small print on the dollar
bill: "Legal tender for all debts public and private, except
when buying a laptop".
The forefathers had some pretty good foresight, putting that
on the dollar bill..

This probably means that he can take a lawyer and sue CompUSA for a
gazillion dollar because they shattered all his trust in US currency,
causing him to have nightmares and requiring him to take some
prescription-free medication.


They will probably bring up the fact that it was not a "debt" he was
trying to pay, but rather debt he was trying to incur..

Nah, thats too goofy, even for me :-P
