Florida Nudists To Use $2 Bills Exclusively
PASCO COUNTY, Fla. -- Nude tourists are ready to dig deep into their pockets to shed more light on how important they are to the Florida economy.
Resorts that cater to nudists are big business in Osceola and Pasco counties. Now, the au natural tourists are stocking up on two dollar bills to prove how important they are to Florida's bottom line.
"We just want to show the merchants that, yes, we're still here and stronger than ever," said Chuck Foster, Caliente Resort.
The nudist resorts bring in more than 100,000 tourists a year. Now they want to flex their economic muscles.
Cabbie Says He Was Stiffed on $8,200
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) - A taxi driver told police he was stiffed on an $8,200 cross-country fare by a female passenger he shuttled from Beverly Hills, Calif. to North Carolina.
The meter in Levon Mikayelyan's taxi cab hit the staggering fare after a 2,600-mile journey that ended at a Holiday Inn in Chapel Hill. Mikayelyan said the rider's family paid him only $800, Chapel Hill police spokeswoman Jane Cousins said Friday.
"We do get reports of people who are not able to pay cab drivers, but certainly not with this amount," Cousins said.
Mikayelyan filed a police report Tuesday but no charges have been filed. Cousins said police were done with the case and referred Mikayelyan to a magistrate judge.
