TM slaps RM 806 trillion bill on deceased
A Malaysian man who paid off a $23 wireless bill and disconnected his late father's cell phone back in January has been stiffed for subsequent charges on the closed account, MSNBC has reported. Telekom Malaysia sent Yahaya Wahab a bill for 806,400,000,000,000.01 ringgit, or about $218 trillion, for charges to the account, along with a demand from the company's debt collection agency that he settle the alleged debt within 10 days, or get a lawyer.

Come on TM, how more ridiculous can you get. The funny thing is when confronted with this, TM chose to post the "no comment" answer. The USD $218 trillion bill in total is roughly 17 times the GDP of the United States. I think I can go buy a country with that amount of money :)
