Some fundamentalist Christians think this practical joke is a good idea

Another idiot decided to pass off a bible tract as a tip.

17-year-old Garret Wayman, who works as a waiter at a restaurant in a suburb of Wichita, Kansas, said he was excited on Tuesday to see a $20 bill tucked under a ketchup bottle as a tip.

But on closer inspection, his excitement turned to irritation after he said he realized the tip was a fake.

A customer had really left Wayman a religious pamphlet disguised to look like money that recommended he seek "faith thru Jesus Christ" and start reading the bible.

Here's the tweet in question;

I hate when people do that to others. It's not nice. It's being a jerk. It's giving Christians a bad name.

How much of a dollar bill do you have to reproduce for it to be considered counterfeiting?
