"Deputies were first alerted to the possible counterfeit money by a local Taco Bell after Severe tried to pay for her meal with a $2 bill."

Bunny Severe would be a great punk name.

"Now, live from Mabuhay Gardens: Bunny Severe, The Circle Jerks and Black Flag"

HAHA, bunny, what a name. bunny is going to get a carrot shoved up her crack

How much time can you get for counterfeit money? Years ago as a teenager, a friend copied a five dollar bill with his mom's copier and used it in the change machine at the local bowling alley. Got 5 dollars worth of quarters to play video games with. Next week the change machine was only accepting ones.

Props to the tagline submitter!

Bunny Severe? Isn't she related to Yahoo Serious?

She's related to Bunny Lebowski

Pronounced Se' ver ray?

I work with a Bonita Severe. She has no resemblance to any rodent or made-up holiday character. And as far as I know - she doesn't forge U.S. currency.

Cosmic_Music: Bunny Severe would be a great punk name.

I actually knew a guy named Sid Severe.

, no?

Amazing Tagline!

Severe explained to officers, "But those are the $50 bills they gave me at McDonald's when I paid for my meal with an $800 bill!"

Sid Severe! Ha!

"And now, coming to you LIVE form the Cococabana Lounge, it's Sid and Bunny Severe!"

Seriously. There's no way she made funny money. Unless it was just MSPaint and a color printer, no way.

Cosmic_Music beat me to it.

"Dude, have you heard the new Bunny Severe? It rocks."

Maybe Bunny Severe is her "working" name.

First thing I thought of:

That means she got nabbed up by the secret service, they handle counterfeiting.

/changing fark handle to bunny severe

Thank You MrNeutron

It is the first thing I thought of too - but I lack Photoshop skills.

I think we all missed the real story, further down the page, titled "Elderly Woman Left Dangling When Drawbridge Opens Beneath Her".

That hit fark already

"Bunny Severe" served up Zyklon style.
NSFW.....

I guess you could make the argument counterfeiters don't think, after all there are hundreds of "Legal" but morally reprehensible ways to easily make money.

However, $50 bills? Anything over a twenty is automatically swiped with a pen most places! Hello McFly!

If you can figure out the Federal sentencing guidelines of 1998 (even though it just got tossed by the Supreme Court a couple of months ago) , It seems like she will get 9 years. However, if the Feds followup and find any counterfeiting equipment, it jumps to 15 years.

If you want to follow the link here:
http://www.ussc.gov/1998guid/2b5_1.htm

maybe you can figure it out better than I can. But then again, this is the US government we are talking about, so she'll probably end up with 5 years probation after a plea, while Martha is still cleaning Carpets in Conn.

You just made me destroy my laptop with coffee you ******. Jolly good job.

Zyklon B. Goode-

That's pretty Bunny Severe alright.

The name 'Bunny Severe' begs for a ballad named 'The Ballad of Bunny Severe'. In fact, I'm going to write one right now:

THE BALLAD OF BUNNY SEVERE
(medium shanty)

Now hearken me, lads, and I'll tell you a tale
A story both startling and true
About a great crime that was destined to fail
And a lady without any clue

But the note-worthy thing in this story I'll sing
Is the villainous name that you'll hear
With regards to the passing of counterfeit bling
In this Ballad of Bunny Severe

CHORUS:

Oh Bunny Severe, Oh Bunny Severe
Her names are quite odd and her money is queer
And never a scarier hare could appear
Than Bunny, Bunny Severe

Our story takes place in the great Sunshine State
(A fact that won't cause much surprise)
Where a mop-headed minx tried to pass a bad fake
Past a Home Depot clerk with sharp eyes

The store wanted to know why Old Grant had a 'fro
And a fatty tucked over his ear
But no answer came for this non-standard dough
From poor little Bunny Severe

CHORUS:

Oh Bunny Severe, Oh Bunny Severe
Her names are quite odd and her money is queer
It's a Bad Hare day, I think it's quite clear
For Bunny, Bunny Severe

Well the cops came along and things got rather worse
(And I hope this news won't upset us)
They found fourteen more counterfeit bills in her purse
Which is really a lot of fake lettuce

Now they've hauled her away to the hutch where she'll stay
In a near-constant state of raw fear
'Cause the cons think it's funny to play Pat the Bunny
And Warden can be quite Severe.

CHORUS:

Oh Bunny Severe, Oh Bunny Severe
Her names are quite odd and her money is queer
I'll trade for a Crook Trading Card made by Fleer
Of Bunny, Bunny Severe

Oh Bunny Severe, Oh Bunny Severe,
Your story's a lesson all children should hear:
Don't have a strange name that's funny or weird
Like Bunny, Bunny Severe
Like Bunny, Bunny Severe!

Well done hwrnmnbsol

Well done indeed! though I'm reminded of 'Abul-abulbul-amir' when I sing that in my head. Maybe it's just the Geek in me re calling Lore singing it to Dr. Soong.

That would be a good name for a really intense female pro wrestler.

mad props hwrnmnbsol

/raises the roof

Cosmic and hwrnmnbsol in a dead heat...

cosmic gets the tie because he/she (too lazy to look) knows of the mighty Mab!

What! This was prime for a Florida tag...and nice ballad hwrnmnbsol - as Vader would say, "impressive..."

hwrnmnbsol

Nicely done. Robert Service surrenders.

Ok... second time a much needed Florida tag is missing. I'm dissapointed.

RE: Gunderson's post

About that.

The offense level in the guidelines isn't a value-to-value equal of the time the guidelines suggest. Ie, an offense level of nine doesn't actually mean nine years. The offense level also depends on the amount of the damages, whether the defendant expresses remorse, and other factors.

You can find out how the numbers in your link correlate to actual sentencing ranges by reviewing the chart at http://www.ussc.gov/2003guid/5a.htm. However, as you observed, there's been some shakeup as to how the guidelines apply.

I'm not a lawyer or anything. Just another guy with a healthy interest in the federal criminal justice system.

Also ... ah, quick poll. Folks, are there any circumstances under which you would name your kid "Bunny"? I mean, I'm sure she's a fine lady when she's not out passing boodle, but ... yeah. I'd really like to know.

Stay in school, kids.

You don't make friends with salad.
