10 Million Dollars!

Matt's credit card isn't working - I think we have a culprit right here.....

Its expencive being a boat owner. All we wanted was a few liters of Diesel. Racing Yachtsmen are like minicabs. They never have more than £5 quid in the tank.

Look carefuly at the recept right, it tried to pre-auth Nine Million Nine Hundred and Ninety Nine Thousand Nine Hundred and Ninety Nine Dollars and Ninety Nine Cents.

Also, yes shops always put XXX.99 rather than the real number, but did they seriaously think with that many figures someone was going to go "Look Dear Its not even 10 Million"

This has happend before, so Matt ask the Fule Zombie "Before I do this is it going to try and take my card for a million bucks" the Fuel Zombie, quite rightly said "no", but failed to elablerate that Matt's worry was out by a factor of 10.

Still, it  separates the men from the boys, Johnathan off Aqualuna stuck his card in that very pump about 2 weeks back and his credit card didn't seem to mind.
