Article-I.D.: ixn5e.105 Posted: Fri Jan 7 18:03:49 1983 Received: Sat Jan 8 06:39:35 1983 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? :-) Dave Nixon, RV/BTL, Naperville, IL. ixn5e!nxn
