True, true, Max Power. I was just going by what I know for a fact.

Also a cheque outside of the UK.

And at least the "cheque" was clean. :S

SparkS - Precisely. As an American living outside of America, it surprises me how much spark and individualism we have lost even since I was a kid. You tend to see it more when you leave the country. This generation growing up is soft and sheep-like, but I will shush before I start chasing kids off my lawn.

Besides, didn't someone write a check on the side of a cow once, or is that just my imagination?

liphttam1- In the US, it's a check, but in the UK, it's a cheque.

I've heard of checks being written on fruit and livestock before.

I have to admit, I never thought a bank would honour a check written on toilet paper.

Geekazoid - Lighten up. Article never said it was paid late. It's legal in a lot of places to write a check on most anything.

Evilbeagle - Amen. It's kind of sad how we Americans forget our country was born out of protest.

I always think it's great when someone does even the dumbest things to stick it to The Man.

Really I'm starting to find these types of things quite annoying. One day it's some guy paying with a 'spider'. Then next someone using pennies. Now toilet paper.

Enough's enough already, maybe it was somewhat cute the first time now everyone thinks they are so clever and sticking it to the man.

Just pay the bills on time like everyone else!
