02.13.03 Money makes something go 'round

So I went to my bank the other day (which shall remain nameless, less I be sued for liable), and I had to take out some money for my brother. I went up to the teller and asked for a checking withdrawl slip. "We don't have those," she said. "If you want to take money out you have to use your own." I was shocked, and a little confused. I didn't have any withdrawl slips of my own, so I pulled out my checkbook. I wrote out a check to Cash, and the amount was around $1,600. I handed her the check, she looked it over, and then said, "Can I see a license please?" (I promise, this gets better.) She looks from my check to my license, then back again. "Um, the signature on your check doesn't match the one on your license," she says. "Oh..." I don't know how to respond. She laughs, "It's okay, if you could just sign your name again so it looks like your license." Surely she must be kidding. She hands me back the check and I go to fake my own signature, but I'm struggling to remember what it looks like. "Oh, here, you can copy it from the license," she says. I try my hardest not to yell out, "What is the matter with you?!" but I simply take my license back (I'm suprised she didn't hand me tracing paper!) and copy my signature. I hand her back the check, she hands me $1,600 dollars, and I vow to change my bank within the week.
