I just received a check from a Doper (who shall go unnamed) for payment for a football pool I run. The comment line? “Footbaaaaall pool”.
Ok, cute (and I would never stoop so low as to “accidentally” lose his picks one week). But, I can’t say anything about it…hell, I sent out a check this week for another football pool I’m in. The comment line? “Beer and hookers”.
Anyone else ever play around with the comment line like this?
A friend used to write checks to his drug dealers. (I’ll pause while that sinks in.) The memo line was always “Good lovin’.”
I love David Sedaris’ bit about how when his cat died, his mom sent him a check so he could have the feline cremated. On the check memo area she wrote “cat burning”.
A friend of mine wrote out a check for his portion of the fee for our softball team. Comment line: Anal Pleasure.
Our softball team name? The Donkey Punchers. 
I used to live in a duplex where the utilities were all on my neighbor’s meter, so every month I’d write him a check for half the bill. I’d always put something odd in there: “Sex,” or “weed,” or “hush money,” or something along those lines. I liked to imagine him getting funny looks from bank tellers.
I used to write in checks to my fiance: “For sensuous massage.”
He would write checks back: “For numerous sexual favours rendered.”
And I would return: “Pimp dues.”
“For last night”
Here’s a guy who pissed off his local bank:
Fun with address fields
When I paid off the money I owed my roommate last year, I nearly wrote “Sexual Favors” in the space. We decided that might cause a problem, so on the spot I wrote down “For Being Batman.”
This was the first thing I thought of, too.
When I had to pay rent for my fraternity for the first time, I wrote “for butt sex.”
Heh…butt sex, always funny.
Leave it to the frat boys to head straight to the gay jokes. Keep reaching for that rainbow, guys!
I once wrote a check to my mom and it was for her “allowance”.
I believe George Clooney has said he borrowed cash from Matt Damon, then later paid him back with a check. But he wrote “for lap dances” in the memo line, and so far Matt has not been willing to take that into a bank to get it cashed.
“The green room of felt?” Is he trapped in that puzzle game or something?
“One eternal soul”
“Unconditional surrender”
“War reparations”
“Services as research subject”
After several years of horrible service from AT&T, I began to write in the “TO” field: AT&T SUCKS DONKEY LIPS or other similar but appropriate insults for all my montly payments. It was very satisfying.
Back when I still used to mail cheques to pay bills, I’d sometimes write weird little cliches in the comment field.
I think my favourite is still “No wife, no horse, no mustache.”
Maybe “FRENCH CANADIAN BEAN SOUP,” though.
What makes it funny is that my printing generally gives the impression that someone spent a lot of time making it just so – but why?
I do “for sexual favors,” and, for my little sister, “lesbian incest.”
