“Or you could just be thankful that when the sun came up this morning you were on top of the grass and not below it. A rapid glance up and a silent ‘thank you’ will be heard by the One responsible for that.”
It is good advice. I was being a little sarcastic, which I try to avoid. Thanks for the sanity check.
This should be easily verifiable if true...did you determine whether this was just another lie?

It might not be too hard to verify if I knew the identity of the clerk. However, as I simply posted the article written by another, I do not have that information.
On my bank's online system, I can click on a check and get an image of both the front and back. Perhaps you should check out other banks?
Sorry - I misread and thought it was a first person account...
You are correct. It is a first person account. It is just not my first person account. ;-)
Or, for that matter, to allow Jews or Negroes into that same place of business.
Actually, I'm torn about that as well. I believe that property rights are inviolate, as long as the actions of the property owner doesn't hurt others: For instance, if a property owner wants to bury toxic waste on his property, if there's a chance that the waste will leech into the soil hurting others, or damaging the property of others, then they should not be allowed to do it.
On the other hand, if a business wants to exclude people based on race, ethnicity, etc, they should be able to do so. Of course, it's well within the rights of those who have been excluded to protest, and "make a stink" about it, effectively putting the moron business owner a "former business owner."
Oh, btw, I'm Jewish, and there have been a number of situations where it was made very clear that I was not welcome when it was learned I was Jewish.

You would be welcomed in the Kehoe household.

If shooting random fellow customers because you're feeling bored while standing in line is wrong, then I don't wanna be right!
Jane... my teller... informed me that they would be having some big wigs in next week for a bank wide audit and that I will be asked to not OC in there because I am breaking federal law since all banks are considered federal land since they are FDIC insured... "yes I know for a fact that it is against the law" ...She then stated that well maybe it wasn't against any law but it was without a doubt corporate policy... She backed down again telling him that it was not their policy but her personal opinion because she had seen a customer in line shoot another customer before and it was such a traumatic experience for her that she believes nobody should ever go into a bank with a firearm.Miss Hathaway ping. Thanks marktwain.
LOL!
Oh, btw, I'm not, but as a former Machalnik and veteran of the 1973 Arab-Israeli War, it's amusing how many liberal Jews despised me and did their best to sink my career.
Didn't work, and I'm retired now. Mostly.
Thank you for putting your life on the line for Israel. To be honest, I don't find it amusing in the least bit, and it happens far too often. I don't understand leftist Jews, either here in the US or in Israel, and some of the most liberal I know are my cousins who live in Jerusalem. I just don't get it, but they're foursquare against the fence and any military action that retaliates against muslim and arab aggression. I just don't get it.
But then it's people like yourself who allowed people like my cousins to have such crazy ideas (and their lives) and for that I thank you, though they would probably curse you.

However, I would remind you of the observation of one very wise observer:
“Francesco Sforza became Duke of Milan from being a private citizen because he was armed; his sons, since they avoided the inconveniences of arms, became private citizens after having been duke. For, among the other bad effects it causes, being disarmed makes you despised; this is one of those infamies a prince should guard himself against”
--Niccolo Machiavelli, The Prince [p.36, in my copy]
Fascinating. Thank you for all your hard work. FRegards ....
First mistake is doing business with US Bank. Bunch of lying jack$$es.
