Well, that was scary. I just wrote a check for $614,000.

I don't have that kind of money. I just wrote the check to see what it would feel like.

[TEB]

1. How did it feel

[milestogo]

2. WOW you still have checks?

[DFW]

6. I use checks all the time

The credit card companies take between 3% and 7%, and when I make contributions to things like planned Parenthood or NARAL or Greenpeace, the last thing I want is for Mastercard to be grabbing a chunk of it for themselves. Act Blue is worse because they take 3.95% in addition to what the credit card companies take. Some candidate rakes in $20 million via Act Blue? $1.6 million of that got split evenly between Act Blue and VISA (or whoever). No thanks. I'm happy to write the check.

3. Hopefully no kite flying in your future

Ha, old bad check term I learned from my brother-in-law

4. My 26 year old son

Has literally never sent a check through the mail to pay a bill. We were talking about this the other day. He does have checks, buried in the back of his desk drawer somewhere.

5. A month ago, I made an ATM withdrawal of 700,000. In Tanzanian shillings.

7. Will you write me one for $6.14?

[Ron Obvious]

9. I have billions of Deutschmarks at home

Sadly, it's from the hyperinflation period and probably would barely have bought a loaf of bread back in the day, if that.
