Yesterday a friend called and asked if I could loan her $500 to help her pay her rent.

I wanted to be helpful to someone in such need.

I told her, let me check my account and l will call you right back.

Before I could double check, her sister calls and says, “Don’t give her any money because she’s lying.”

Her sister told me that she wants to use the $500 to get her boyfriend out of jail so they can be together for her birthday.

I thought about it for a minute, then decided to go ahead & give her the $500.

A few minutes ago, she called me from the local jail, crying about being arrested.

She started screaming, asking, “Why did I give her counterfeit money?!” I replied:

“So you & your man could be together for your birthday”
