That makes sense -- who writes checks anymore?


Even if checks are written they are scanned and sent electronically.
Hence the reason it is almost impossible to get an original check back
from your bank.


These were all government checks. THey were all punch cards, in fact. Boxes
and boxes of 'em.
And we lost some of them so next time you tell someone it was lost in the
mail you can do it with a straight face!
