SoCal Rebell,
Was this thread just posted to point out that you lost weight?
You're so vain.
I agree, tell him it's a deal, then when you get the check, email him after a few days and say that the check didn't go through the bank, there must be some sort of a problem with it and to issue another.
Then send him some junk in a box COD. Perhaps send a fake check of your own, like something printed up on a printer really bad or something like that. Sort of like a kid would do with a picture of Goofy instead of a dead president.
Just have some fun.
