Okay, maybe not, again. Obviously bogus, it wasn't written on a tablet. Geesh!
HOBART, Ind. (AP) -- Kevin Russell found out it's not easy trying to cash a check from God. The 21-year-old man was arrested Monday after he tried to cash a check for $50,000 at the Chase Bank in Hobart that was signed "King Savior, King of Kings, Lord of Lords, Servant," Hobart police Detective Jeff White said.
Russell was charged with one count attempted check fraud and one count intimidation, both felonies, and one count resisting law enforcement, a misdemeanor. He could face prison time.
Police were called to the bank after Russell tried to cash the check, which was written on an invalid Bank One check with no imprint, White said. Russell had several other checks with him that were signed the same way but made out in different dollar amounts, including one for $100,000.


I got a check from my Lord and Savior once. His name Bill Clinton. It was for $62, he needed a dress dry cleaned.
I also got a check Monseigneur John Kerry, it was for $200,000. I went to the bank and for some reason I was escorted out, and arrested. He called it a botched joke. It was funny.
Gerry Studds sent me $310,000 to not tell on him for being a pedolphile, but I did, I'm such a bad liberal. But he still got a standing ovation after he got censure so it was all good!

I could have saved him the time and told him this never works.

Intimidation is a felony? How do they rate it? In degrees? Some big bad Marine type guys can't be intimidated, so the would-be intimidator would get off without notice. Doesn't seem fair to me.
There is a Deliverance witch that sits in a little wooden shack at our local landfill. Her job is to see that you don't go over the weight load, whatever that is. She intimidates me so bad, I've started leaving the big stuff the pick-up guy's won't take at any one of a thousand little churches round these parts. I did leave a new daybed with a mattress and all the trimmings in a parking place in front of Blockbusters at the mall. It was gone by morning. And I left an antique blade push-mower in front of a fingernail spa.

Sorry. That was mostly off-topic. I should sue that witch at the landfill.
Can you sue for intimidation?

Phoenix, surely we live in the same county, for how could there be two witches guarding landfills? What a coincidence. The witch at our landfill looks at everything you have, and if it has too much metal, or too many nails, and is the "wrong" kind of garbage, as in the household type, then you may not dispose of it at the landfill. And the lecture you get, well, let's just say it makes the liberals who comment here sound reasonable.

Have you two considered warm water?

Warm water? OH! To throw at them witches? :) I'm afraid my Trash Witch would repel it by her anti-magneto force. I don't know about TK's witch.
My Waste Witch looks like she lives in a dumpster, and she has flowers in pots around her hut. It is too incongruous to believe. I bet the county wonders why there's more trash left outside the gates of the landfill in the dark of the night than what goes through during the day. It's because of The Witch. This story is not made up. Serious. She gives me PTSD.

Apparently God has issued an apology on His blog. He said the check bounced because He blew a little too much at the track this weekend: http://www.blogofthegods.com/2007/03/01/oops-my-check-bounced/

"Can you sue for intimidation?"
Yes, it's called "assault." OR you can call it "intentional infliction of emotional distress."
Just sayin.

Got a spare house floating around?

Legal,
Interesting. I had to deal with a feral creature at a MAC store nearby, and I'm too embarrassed to go into detail about how she made me lose my cool, but I swear, I was so upset that I wanted revenge in the worst way. I'm not litiginous at all, but the degree of upset was such that it entered my mind to call the police. That's how bad it was. "Emotional distress"? I cried for six hours and was afraid to go back and pick up my computer.
They should have that bat chained in a cage and throw her hard drives for lunch.
I couldn't sue her, though. She gave me Post Traumatic MAC Disorder.
