> [@CandidGamera](#): > > Nnnope. Checks are worth money, even if you want to quibble about redemption costs. But thanks for playing! What about hot checks? Forged checks? Checks that bounce? Are they worth money? Point of interest, I heard on the radio a local station doing their morning show schtick that involved sending people to drive thrus to order breakfast, and yell into the speaker. The point of the gimmick was to get the drive through attendant to say “you don’t have to yell”. If they got that phrase, the person won a prize. So apparently there is a subset of the populace that does find this stuff funny. ---

> [@Ura-Maru](#): > > As far as ribbing goes, I mean. I wouldn’t recommend trying to slip a $5 bill into the bouncers underwear or try to buy a lap dance from him. That would also make a good comedy sketch, but oddly, I don’t think anyone is going to need to convince you not to try it. No one’s going to have to try to convince me not to try the check gag either. Honestly, is no one actually reading my posts before concocting these replies? I’m going to not reply to anyone who seems to be missing the critical data point that **this is not a thing which I plan to do**. But for the record, the idea of attempting to bribe the bouncers with more of the check-money as I was being tossed out did occur to me, and is hilarious. ---

I really think you should get out of the comic book store and find out the real meaningof hilarious. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/estimated-time-until-our-asses-get-kicked-out/585831.md?page=5)
