	From Larry Geary :
		Checks? Who besides Bob Keeshan can carry a checkbook in his
	pants pocket? Who actually *accepts* checks without also asking for
	a major credit card for ID? Checks are for paying credit card bills.

Mild flame:  I'm not sympathetic to your complaint.  There's no problem
carrying checks--just carry half a dozen of them in your wallet.  Often
I prefer to pay with a check.  That way, there's no paperwork at the end
of the month.
