Man 1, Bank O

Learn about a bored brave soul who decided to deposit a non-negotiable check, from his junk mail, in the amount of 95K into his bank account. (Apparently part of a joke...I'm not sure what the joke is or was...oh well). What happened next is fodder for the centuries. He is hosting a very successful one-man show about the whole thing, called "Man 1, Bank O".

"The reviews are in on Patrick Combs' Man 1, Bank 0, and they look good. "This guy's got STAR POWER." says Hollywood's Variety Magazine. "HILARIOUS and AMAZING. This is - by far the BEST PERFORMANCE I saw. I can't recommend it enough." raves the Orlando City Beat. “If there were a PEOPLE'S CHOICE award, judging by it’s SELLOUTS, Man 1, Bank 0, would likely win.” said the Winnipeg Free Press. "JAW-DROPPINGLY FUNNY...literally had us SCREAMING WITH LAUGHTER. Patrick is a BRILLIANT STORYTELLER." said Janet Munsil, director of UNO Festival. "An INVIGORATING ROLLER COASTER RIDE presented by a bona fide, ballsy jester. Combs is the underdog-- he is us." said the Victoria Times Colonist. "In this TRIUMPHANTLY TRUE story, Patrick Combs poses the question: is found money your money?" noted the San Francisco Guardian. "More than just 'A HELLUVA TALE'... With WELL PLAYED VILLIANS AND HEROES, Man 1 is something of a comic reworking of DAVID VERSUS GOLIATH, or even, maybe, 1984" wrote the Charleston City Paper. “See the performance. Combs is DESTINED FOR BIG THINGS.” said the Orlando City Beat."

Reminds me of this nutty communist from class last week. He is half-black, half-jewish, and spouts philosophical theory like a Marx Brother. We'll call him Ham in the future because I know he will come up some more.

Ham gave this pseudo intellectual diatribe about how it was positively confounding - the whole swippeee the credit card thing. Apparently when you swipe your stripe, a "blip" is registered, noting your debit from your account. Ham explained how this was a form of fraud, that your "blips"could register your debt.

What the hell, dude. Go ring up all of your blips if necessary, in fact, order more credit cards through the mail and register as many blips as you can. Then, like a true radical moron, you can file Chapter 13 and secretly congratulate yourself on how you "beat the man".
