Here's a funny story I found on MSNBC.com:
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia - A Malaysian man said he nearly fainted when he received a U.S. $218 trillion phone bill and was ordered to pay up within 10 days or face prosecution, a newspaper reported Monday.
Yahaya Wahab said he disconnected his late father's phone line in January after he died and settled the 84-ringgit (U.S. $23) bill, the New Straits Times reported.
But Telekom Malaysia later sent him a 806,400,000,000,000.01-ringgit (U.S. $218 trillion) bill for recent telephone calls along with orders to settle within 10 days or face legal proceedings, the newspaper reported.
It wasn't clear whether the bill was a mistake, or if Yahaya's father's phone line was used illegally after his death.
"If the company wants to seek legal action as mentioned in the letter, I'm ready to face it," the paper quoted Yahaya as saying. "In fact, I can't wait to face it," he said.
Yahaya, from northern Kedah state, received a notice from the company's debt-collection agency in early April, the paper said. Yahaya said he nearly fainted when he saw the new bill.
Government-linked Telekom Malaysia Bhd. is the country's largest telecommunications company.
A company official, who declined to be identified as she was not authorized to speak to the media, said Telekom Malaysia was aware of Yahaya's case and would address it. She did not provide further details.

I printed the picture of Jay taking after his bad gwenny and drinking a coke to put on my kitchen wall! It matches the rest of my coke decor.
hello stinky feet
are you in jail because you don't write emails anymore you lazy hobo with a stick and bandanna. get off the train and do some writing and pics or else the hobo cops will catch you
hello!!!!????!!!!! This is getting out of control. I am obviously speaking for all the folks you keep in limbo with your slow lazybones approach to this blog but we are not going to take it any more. There will be a protest at 5pm today on Capitol Hill. Be there or be square. You can avoid this action, and possibly the violence which is sure to come with it by posting a blog more than once a week. Duh! Bye and I hope you choke on your easter egg!!! I hope you aren't in the dumps because your dumb Mets team lost while you were there. You are just a bad luck charm. Plus, Pedro will choke this year and we got a better replacement for him and his poor sad toe and the braves will still win the division. Mets? They are bad like your writing (or lack thereof) bye
