That is, in my opinion, brilliant. It tells me you can write legibly and as an educated person. That is all I have to say. I'd rather say something, ONE thing, that is positive, than a thousand negative things. Blessigs, ts To Sky:

After all, it might have cleared Sorry >to see people have become so cynical. Nowz I thought to myself that was a neat touch of the ridiculous as a joke...soz I joined in, espec after 'Sky' seemed to take it seriously but. So I made a tie-in joke about the declining value of the greenback (thus Yanq peso) and the cheque being future dated. You know you put a date two weeks in the future on the cheque and it can't be presented/cleared till then. Get it....future dated and in that time the USD is like the Zimbabwean dollar (bad). Ok, with me so far? Next, I reread the Sky post and picked up their concern about being a racist and so helpfully suggested it might be 'blindist' (he has his eyes closed just like a blind person I know always does)...thus I made a joke about that being the reason he put the future dated cheque in cos he couldn't read the date!!! HTH's : ) Now let me explain how black is really white and then watch you all get run over on the next Zebra crossing you walk over (apols to DA) Ummmm.....I have to explain myself..good grief!

So, if he's not the stupidest criminal for trying to cash a 360 billion dollar check, he certainly gets some points for being so confident that it would clear that he didn't leave his gun or drugs at home.

You're the one who brought up the whole race card bit. Now you're attacking me for saying you might deserve a little criticism, because appearances can be deceiving? Forget about the race card - I don't think you're playing with a full deck. He looks like he didn't shower? How can you tell that from this picture? Really, Sky, the more you talk, the more you project your own confrontational attitude, especially with the "pun intended" crack. You're simply trying to provoke something. This is not the picture of the young dummy when he walked into the bank - this is a mug shot. Perhaps he was well-dressed and had his eyes open when he made his ill-advised attempt at fraud.

I look at this kid and see that he is black, but that is not all that I see and that certainly does not disqualify him from the likelihood of being the richest man alive. Rather, it is the fact that realistically a man who could amass such a fortune would most likely be smart enough to at least take a shower before going in to a bank to cash such a check.
