Fake Out
Situation puzzles (sometimes called lateral thinking puzzles) are ones where you need to ask lots of yes or no questions to figure out what happened in the situation. These are good puzzles for groups where one person knows the puzzle and answers the questions.
Joesph walked Chuck, a potential new employee, through his company. He briefly went over the safety precautions of a couple machines, their uses, and regular day-to-day activity. Joseph was very impressed with Chuck's qualifications and knowledge on the workings of his business. Chuck was applying for a position in shipping. Joseph took him by the wall where a single dollar hung up. He proudly explained that it was the first dollar he ever made, almost 20 years ago, when the business first started. Finally Joseph brought the man outside and showed him his parking spot. Chuck thanked Joseph for the tour, but then directed Joseph to put his hands over his head.
What happened?
HintOne word is more important than the others.

Answer
Joseph was a counterfeiter, and Chuck was an undercover police officer. Joseph's business was to create counterfeit bills.
Chuck finally had the evidence to arrest Joseph when he showed him "the first dollar he ever MADE".

| I thought it had something to do with counterfeit, but I didn't catch the "MADE" part until after I clicked the answer, though I guess that defeated the purpose cause it told me to look for the word...
Good teaser, Putter. |
