Banks will cash absolutely anything. My mom gave me a check once for some money she owed me, but she couldn't remember how much, so she wrote it to me but just left the amount blank. I filled in the date and the amount in completely different handwriting and, IIRC, green ink. It was about $500, so not tiny, and I remember hoping they wouldn't give me a hard time. Nope, no worries.
Neither of us realized until after they sent her the cancelled check a month later that she'd forgotten to
sign
the damn thing in the first place.
I bet I gave Trudy a Sunrise/Sunset moment just now, with my cuffoon love. Thank you, SPP! I might've gone on being desert vanilla without you and the rest of the Bitches.
Weirdest thing, at about 1:00 Super Porny Pants came wooshing through my office performing aerial cartwheels.
Now I know why.
My (apparently totally misplaced) faith in modern banking is shattered.
I swear to god, when I was a teller, we checked things like signatures and if the person a check was made out to was a depositer on teh account it was deposited to.
Ugh, Sean. I hope you can figure out what happened.
I just watched this weeks Tru Calling it was written by Jane Espenson this week. It's a good episode; I think she could have done some interesting things with the series.

Totally depends on the teller, in my experience with wedding checks made out to the DH and I. Some tellers wouldn't let me deposit checks that had an "and" between our names if the account was only in my name.
I learned to avoid those tellers, and, apparently, Sean's alter ego has, too!
Yikes, Sean. I hope it gets taken care of.

Mine was shattered a long time ago when I learned that, with two or three simple steps, you could delay a check clearing by up to a week. (I do not recommend this as a way to handle your finances, btw.)
And I just got told by the mechanic fixing my car that my two front tires are bald with cords showing, and that I need an oil change.
I HAVE NO FUCKING MONEY FOR THIS! FUCKING NONE! I HAVE FOURTEEN MOTHERFUCKING DOLLARS IN MY GOD DAMNED ACCOUNT! WHY WON'T THE GOD DAMNED MOTHER FUCKING UNIVERSE LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE????????????
