The last time I ordered checks, I realized that my choices were limited to the same disquieting images of flowers, flying dogs, and sweeping vistas. Where were the check designs that reflect my anxieties?
Fortunately, I came across Mips VersaCheck Personal, a program that lets you design and print your own checks. It comes with 150 blanks that, once printed, conform to Federal Reserve standards, right down to the fractional routing number for your bank. With my color printer, the results were impressive.
Finally, I was able to print checks with Alan Greenspan's head floating ominously over Earth. Then I made some with New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani standing in front of the flag of Russia. Incredible! What a way to pay my traffic tickets!
