Saudi Arabian Riyals

Want a creative way to skirt the bill when you are splitting with friends? You offer to pay and then get out the wrong currency. That is exactly what my mother in law (MIL) did when she offered to split the check at lunch yesterday. (She visiting from the US with a good friend of mine).  She whips out her wallet which contains Saudi Arabian Riyals.  Thanks for nothing! We are in Qatar, not Saudi.  What am I suppose to do with that?  Keep your money...I will get the bill.

(So the story behind the wrong currency-In preparation for the trip, my MIL tried to exchange US dollars at a bank in Indiana. What they gave her was Saudi Arabian Riyals, not QR)

Yesterday was frustrating....today, we can not stop laughing about it.
