    Hehe, it's always good to see a faceless organization get a swift kick in the arse.

    It's a good thing the guy is a professional speaker/writer, otherwise the story would probably would have only taken 20 minutes to read. Good thing I didn't need that hour anyways. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Well I just spent 2 hours reading that. Cool story heh. Its extra funny for me, as I work at a bank. I process the NSF checks like he mentioned. I also occassionaly deal with checks that say non-negotionable on it. I find it quite odd indeed that the non-negotionable part doesn't really make it non-negotionable. I'll definately have to tell all my coworkers about this one...

    Not. Even. Close.

    I read this a while ago, but it was good to revisit it. Seems like he added a few details recently.

    I like to believe that people in the long run are going to do more to promote peace than our governments. Indeed, I think that people want peace so much that one of these days governments had better get out of the way and let them have it.

    Bah, dishonorable or not. I would have likely invested in the stock market and some other stuff, made $295,000 and then paid back the $95,000!

    Just imagine how many pr0n sites you could subscribe too!
