A check is a very emasculating experience. It’s like a note from your mother. That says, “I don’t have any money, but if you contact these people… I’m sure they’ll stick up for me. I really don’t understand how this works. You see, I gave my money to these people here… (points to check) And they gave me these… (looks sheepish) I put my name on it. And the amount of money that I wish I had. Is that worth anything at all?” You have to beg this guy to take the check.
