People don’t write checks much anymore. Penning funny check memos is a dying art.
Well, some fools still write checks.
The memo section of a check is often left blank. It’s a shame. The memo line is the perfect spot to make terrible jokes regarding the specific reasons for giving and receiving money. It’s original intent, before the advent of funny check memos, was to remind the payer of the reason he or she was minus a specific sum.
Repairing broken pipe. Babysitting service. Now memo lines are filled with nothing but sex jokes. Which is awesome.
But penning the perfect funny check memo is skill. It’s easy to go crass and head straight for the sex joke. It takes much more thought and effort to craft a funny check memo that will really make a teller think “is this exchange of money for real?”
