Dang....bounced a check...

The last check you write should be to your undertaker, and it should
bounce. (I think that was the title of a book.)

95% of fatal accidents occur within five miles of home. Checks or no
checks, I'd say its about time for you to get the hell out of Dodge.

who knows a nice spot among the trees to camp for a week of chasing
trouts and basses in the coulee country come the dog days of summer.

It would depend to whom you wrote the checks...

....bouncing a check to a bookie, loanshark or the guy called "Big Guido JPOWW!!"
to whom you lost a few grand in poker probably wouldn't add many years to your
life...YYMV...

John

a check is nothing more than a promise
to pay....

No, undertakers are the most trustworthy of professionals. They'll be
the last to let you down.

And you, like so many of us, are getting to an age where such a policy
would eventually result in substantial ammunition costs.

yet another reason to be depressed......one of those vicious circle
thingies.
