Things to write on check memos
That’s cheque memos to my readers abroad. When writing a check for an unpleasant bill, there are subtle things you can do to amuse yourself, while confusing those on the receiving end. Add any I’ve missed.
- You’re fired
- I’m still sore from last night
- Devil Clowns are making me write this
- You left something by my bed
- I knew you liked puppies, but not that way…
- I heard about your little accident
- Congratulations on “coming out” to your office
- My water broke; hurry!
- I gave head to a lemur
- What’s that smell? Is that you?
- Have you learned about Scientology’s benefits?
- This is my last entry… Cannibals approaching… All hope is lost…
- I know where you sit, and I’ve just cleaned my rifle.
- Ancay uoyay eakspay igPay atinLay?
- I hate the socks you’re wearing
- Have you seen my keys?
- The tests came out positive
- This hour is mine!
- The baby is yours
- What do you write on your check memos?

Ok, I’m English, so I know what a cheque is, thanks for translating, but what is a cheque memo???? Your translation of cheque is still lost on us brits who don’t know what a cheque memo is or even why we would want to write silly things on it. I’ve now asked at least 10 people and not one of them has any idea what a cheque memo is. One person thought it might be a chequebook stub, but as the only person who would read that would the chequebook owner it still doesn’t make a lot of sense. And besides, who uses cheques still????
1. “Don’t worry. I won’t tell ANYONE.”

5. “Which car is yours? Ah, I sliced all the tires anyway.”
6. “It’ll be our little secret.”
7. “Single-barrel or double, sawed-off or not.”
8. “Two words: Lynch Mob!!!”
9. “I thought I paid this before.”
10. “My mind is saying ‘pay you’, the voices are saying ‘kill you’…there still isn’t a winner…”

It’s a line at the bottom of the cheque that you optionally fill in as a reminder of what the money was going to, since it’s not always apparent from the NAME field
(Ex. For: Tuxedo rental for wedding)
Look at the bottom left of this cheque, Steve.
“Hookers and Blow” is what I always write. I like the bank people to think that I am living much more exciting life than they are. Now, if only I knew of someone who solicitated these services and would actually take a check…
I also use write this on check I receive from other people. I am sure my family likes to know what I am spending my birthday money on.
Ooh! This was a near-sport with my undergraduate housemates. Some samples from our cheques to split the utilities (bearing in mind the average value was somewhere in the range of $30.)
1. “Tell your mum it was worth every penny.”
2. “Thanks for running my bag through customs.”
3. “Final payment for Hoffa contract.”
.. Et cetera.
I know you’re company is screwing me, but I’d much rather it be you personally! :wang:

For: Girl Scout Cookies. I hope you win!
Your balls are showing.
Thanks for explaining that Davezilla, That not something we have on our cheques in the UK. All we would fill in is the name it’s paying to, the date and the amount in numbers and words. Can’t say I see the point of it though, as surely the recipient would know what it was you were giving them the cheque for, and it’s hardly a reminder. for yourself as you’d never see it again would you, because that’s the point of the stub. I guess we just do things differently
My two favorites were always “The team says thanks” and “For Drugs”

Ah, see we don’t always have stubs, except on business cheques. We tend to have carbonless forms between each check that make a duplicate of the cheque so one needn’t rewrite anything.
You gave me WHAT !!?? :puke: :wtf:
Hmm, I’m still lost as to why you would write a ‘memo’ on the cheque itself. Once you’ve handed the cheque over you’ve handed your memo over as well. Pretty pointless I think, unless I’m missing something obvious. We have stubs on all our chequebooks so we can write on there what the cheque was for to help us reconcile when we get our statements. Surely writing the memo on the cheque itself is a waste of time because you’d never see it!
[Comment ID #45256 will be quoted here]
Duplicate checks come with a carbon copy, so in a sense you can see it any time. Formely, banks would mail your processed checks back to you. I know of some that still do that.
Aha, thanks Nikki. Now it all makes sense to me. We don’t have processed cheques mailed back to us, and I don’t think that has ever been the case in the UK, (unless you are a business with a prior arrangement with the bank). Bank charges are high enough without them finding some other way to charge us for the postage. And as I said earlier, we don’t tend to use cheques much these days, preferring to use debit cards or BACS (electronic) payments mostly. Gradually the banking system is starting to get rid of cheques and I can’t recall when I last wrote one, probably at least 10 years ago…
1. you had me at hello
2. would you like to enlarge your penis?
3. need to refinance? act now!

1. Thanks for the best blow job Ive ever had, Divine 2. You have a booger in your nose 3. For crack 😀
Well, we here in the Great Southern Land also use the english method, all cheque books have stubs in them for writing appropriate comments, dates, amounts etc.
I think the US of A version would make for some rather amusing comments if used in these parts.
I suppose that’s the point of the topic.
*sigh*
21. Here’s your tax money blood sucker.
22. You’re. in my way
23. Keep laughing, I’m reloading.

Marvelous.
“Two words: Donkey punch.”

My favorite check memo is:
“Guns, hookers, firetrucks.”
The Utility companies sometimes require your acct. # or some other info on that memo line…
20. AAAAHHH! Giant centipedes wrote this check! 🙄
When paying taxes, a friend of mine writes “BULLSHIT” in the memo field.
20. Show me the money! SHOW ME THE MONEY!
21. For dildos and vibrators. :wang:
“Trojan or Durex? Just in case I visit.”
” This money was made using 4 year old child laborers in a Dominican sweat shop.”

I live in a very small town and our utility rates are very high.I always pay by check to City Hall and Never have I actually made the check out to the right place.Its supposed to be made out to the City of *********.But I always write City of Sewer,City of Crackho’s and Wineho’s,stuff like that.The cool thing is I went to school with the city clerk and we hated eachother. 😈 So in the memo section I write Bitch,Crack whore…..you get the picture.

After a night of heavy drinking, my friend’s roommates came home tanked, and one of them apparently um… relieved himself on her very expensive video camera. He was kind enough to pay her for the damage. The memo line of the check read: The R. Kelly Treatment.
Dave, thank you for the translation.
