Sage says This bag was a custom order. So the check comes in the mail and, having only eight dollars in my wallet, I run off to the bank and say, Will you cash this please? The teller looks suspicious. Woman in a crewcut equals crook. Not only that, the name on the check isn't my legal one. I smile simperingly. She wanders off and comes back looking stern and has a whispered consultation with another teller. Finally, she turns to me. We can't cash this check for you, she says. It is from Pennsylvania. I nod as if I understand. And you only have thirty seven cents in your account. I am getting crabby. That's the POINT, I tell her, I need that money so that I can buy FOOD. I'm so sorry, she says, but you can't have this money for at least three days. So I spend the eight dollars on onions and peppers and tortillas and butter and have a delicious dinner of refried beans and consider changing my bank.
