Funny Check Memos

Sort of on topic, I have a buddy who for the longest time, used to sign all his credit card receipts "Adolf Hitler." He'd write it in cursive, so it wasn't immediately clear, but if you gave it a good look, it definitely said "Hitler."

He told me he'd been doing it for years and no one had so much as batted an eye. Then, one time he was at the Walmart in Altoona, and the clerk called him out on it. They called the manager over, and after yelling at him about the illegality of signing a false name on a credit care receipt, he cancelled the transaction and made him redo it with his correct signature. To my knowledge, my buddy hasn't done it since.
 
Crazy Pills. Strip Club. Dime Bag. Tell your mom thanks. Also, I run most all of the fantasy leagues I am in and I had a buddy of mine send me twenty $2 checks instead of sending one $40 check. The look on the teller's face was pretty priceless when I took them to the bank.
 
I recently came across an old box of check carbons from back in college. I was curious to see what all I was spending my money on back then so I went through them. Among them was one written to my roommate for my share of rent, with memo "Last Night". I always made sure to spell out the roommate's name, first, middle, and last. I also found checks to some other friends "DMB- Sandstone", "VEGAS, BABY!", "Being Awesome", and "Pokey Stix!"

I also found one written to the ISU parking division, memo (in all caps) "BLOOD SUCKERS!!" I apparently was not happy about that parking ticket.

CLASSIC! I have a buddy who always just signs a thin smiley face, but I don't think he has ever been confronted
 
I once had a landlord name Mike Winter. I had a difficult time remembering that for some reason so I often refered to him as "Mark Snow or whatever". Then I accidentally wrote a rent check out to Mark Snow before leaving on a week long vacation. Roomate called laughing and told me he crossed out Mark Snow, wrote in Mike Winter and initialed it for me. Landlord never asked about it.
 
I know I've written "Blood Sucking Leach" in the memo on a check. Something to do with an old girlfriend who was a black hole when it came to money.

Relationship Rule #1

If your girlfriend has money problems and always needs you to bail her out.... dump her ***. You aren't Fort Knox.

I had read a similar story on-line once about a guy who decided on a whim to draw a ***** for his signature on a credit card machine and then all hell broke loose with the cashier and manager. I always wondered if it was actually true.

that's the story that inspired my friend, although he was too timid to actually draw a wang on his receipt, so he chose "Hitler" instead. (because that's somehow better?)
