fr_defenestratoGood morning. May I have a counter check?
Ah, thank you very much. Oh... while I’m here,
could you look up my balance? What the heck,
let's check all twelve accounts, ’k? Be a dear.
I have four hundred checks from eBay sales
that need immediate depositing. Is
it legal to deposit checks from Wales
or Ghana, by the way? But so the thing is
is that I can’t tell which is which. I’ve lost
the envelopes they came in, cover letters,
and email printouts—guess I must have tossed
them by mistake—and so: four hundred debtors
and no damn time to get the sorting done.
But you can help, right? Good! Check number one...
