In England at least, checks (cheques) may be written on any reasonable
surface. I believe (I'm no lawyer) "reasonable" boils down to portable,
not obscene etc..  Disgruntled taxpayers wishing to protest have used
doors, toilet seats, and scantily clad dancers among many others.
These cases commonly surface as news fillers when rain stops play
in the test match. Benny Hill has probably done at least one sketch 
on the subject. Maybe someone with a copy of the Guinness Book
of Records could post a list of check superlatives? :-)
