That awesome check to Verizon reminded me of the "Verizon doesn't know how to count" thing from a few years ago:

Call to verizon's billing dept:
G: Do you recognize that there's a difference between "point zero zero two dollars" and "point zero zero two cents"?
[pause]
M: Point zero zero two dollars?
G: Do you recognize that there is actually...
M: ...and point zero zero two cents.
G: Yes, do you you recognize there's a difference between those 2 numbers?
[pause]
M: No.

I had to scroll down to the bottom after reading that one for ten minutes, and seeing how there was a long way to go.

You should have included the dollar amount.  It really impacts the memo line.  Like if it was $5 then you're a cheap whore, but if it's $500 then you're pretty good at what ya do.  [laugh]

Um, what probably made it funny was the dollar amount.

I won't post how much it was........but.....it was >3k


I am very very good if I was getting that pay for a BJ.

If you get $536.49 for that check, take the cash and run.  It was only written out for $0.002


The second term wasn't e^(2*pie[sic]) it was e^(i*pi)  which is equal to -1 from Euler's identity (one of the coolest equations ever):

e^(i*pi) + 1 =0, so e^(i*pi) = -1

The infinite series in the third term works out to 1 as expressed

So the check is for $(0.002 -1+1) = $0.002.

Popeye the Sailor

That's not my math-just the only version of the check I could find  ;)
