A New Hampshire man says he swiped his debit card at a gas station to buy a pack of cigarettes and was charged over 23 quadrillion dollars. Josh Muszynski checked his account online a few hours later and saw the 17-digit number - a stunning $23,148,855,308,184,500 (twenty-three quadrillion, one hundred forty-eight trillion, eight hundred fifty-five billion, three hundred eight million, one hundred eighty-four thousand, five hundred dollars).

Muszynski says he spent two hours on the phone with Bank of America trying to sort out the string of numbers and the $15 overdraft fee.

The bank corrected the error the next day.

Bank of America tells WMUR-TV only the card issuer, Visa, could answer questions. Visa, in turn, referred questions to the bank.


Now thats enough to ruin your day!
Become the change you want today, or all your tomorrows will be like yesterday.

It looks like cigarettes are headed that way though.  I quit when they hit $10.00 a carton.  I wasn't about to pay that kind of money.

$10 a carton ...... will be $10 a pack soon, the local store here has them at $8 a pack right now ....


Don't tell anyone but I can remember when they were $0.35 a pack.  Most of the pack is tax.

A carton here a couple of months ago was $25-30 dollars. They just added a extra Tax on them so now they are $50.00. So time to stop.

Good for you, soon it will be nothing but something you feel indifferent toward but happy you quit.  Here is to you getting to that day.
