One Nut Wonder: Mar 17, 2009

One time I legit got a fake check in the mail, with MICR numbers blurred out, and an actual printout of the insane email message. Varying fonts and colors, and underlines, and italics the works. I don't know how they got my name and address, but it's one of my prized possessions. It's in a box somewhere.

It was the old, "cash it and send us $x." But the MICR numbers were so hosed that it would never read. So A for effort, F for execution. Why send a check you couldn't even cash? Maybe Andy Kaufman came back for one last joke.
