Bad Check 1

Sometimes, people write bad checks. Sometimes it is purposeful, and other times it is accidental.

Once, when I was a young boy, my father owned a camper. After some time, he decided to sell it. The purchaser paid with a check. And, well, the check was returned.

My dad went to the issuing bank to learn about the account. He discovered the account was only $5.00 shy of being adequately funded to cover the check. My dad fronted the $5.00 and deposited it and the bank honored the check on the spot.

In the process, Pops learned a big lesson. He made sure to teach us about that lesson as well.
