Turns out he literally paid in blank checks.
I don’t think “blank check” means what you think it means.
Inconceivable!
And insolvent.
Explain why you think this is funny.
What is this I don’t even
By ‘dues’ he meant ‘minimum payment’.
Also, I don’t believe that this is a functioning joke. It is certainly some words, I’ll give you that. It seems to misunderstand what a blank check is and what it can do.
He died in a lot of debt because people used his blank checks to take lots of money? I’m not sure why it’s funny though lol
CSB: My grandpa actually used to send blank, signed checks to pay his bills, and the company would fill out the “pay to” and amount fields for him. I doubt anyone does this any more though!
Back when it wasn’t totally insane to trust a company to not absolutely rip you off.
Imagine doing this with a hospital bill?
And they would probably still put you in collections afterwards anyway.
