I'm not a lawyer but I'd think a check is a contract between the writer
of the check and the person it's made out to. The bank has no relation-
ship or obligation to the receiver unless he has an account there too.
If there's no money in the account, is the bank still guilty of breach
of contract? It's still a promise to pay, drawn on it. Think about it.

Fight the southern baptist boycott. I urge everyone to put their support
on their signature line and wear something Disney!!! Do you want people
like Westboro Baptist (http://www.godhatesfags.com and sponsored by
CyberPromotions) telling Disney how to treat employees?
