The rule of thumb has always been that you may write a check on anything that you can get a bank to accept. I have heard two news stories in particular over the years on this subject. One involved a check written on a piece of tree bark (accepted, no problem). The other involved a dispute between two farmers, and one farmer wrote the other a check on the back of a pig. The banker was eventually persuaded to come out to the farm and cancell the pig on the spot using the regular bank stamp. The MAD Programmer alias: Curtis Jackson (...!floyd!burl!rcj)
