tough luck

at a bank this morning, a woman wanted to exchange her demonetized NDS (New Design Series) banknotes for legal tender NGC (New Generation Currency Series) banknotes.

teller:  'deadline was june 30, ma'am.'

woman:  'you won't accept this anymore?'

teller:  'it's already july 5, ma'am.  deadline was june 30.'

woman:  'how 'bout other banks?'

teller:  'i dunno, ma'am.  you can try.'

woman:  'we found these bills just last night.  it's very unfortunate if this money will go to waste...'

true.  but there is such a thing as too late.

original deadline was december 31, 2016.  it was extended to march 31, 2017.  then again to june 30, 2017.

three deadlines and you found it after.

sometimes fortune is not in the mood to smile at you.  just grin and bear it...  ; )
