I think a better answer would be "He had to pay it." Good one though, I like the short kind. It's easy to tell to friends.
I figured it out immediately. Good teaser. Thanks for posting.
Haha! Nice one!
I feel that dude's pain - I get those kinds of bills all the time. Haha!
This one is sooo funny!
Very cute. Actually, I just opened a $68 bill. I should have figured this one out.
hey i guessed that the friend owed him $200 and only sent $100 ;-p
Very easy, but good fun.
yeah noone wants to send me money in the mail either
i picked up the play on words as soon as i read it, but i thought his friend was the plumber!!!

haha poor dude.
it was pretty easy cause if you know money and whatnot, you should know the difference between and bill and a bill.

It had to be Monopoly Money or he forgot he had loaned his friend money and its a pay it back, or its foreign money?
