Nobody likes a smart ass

So my little plan to leave .01 in my 10 year old Bank One account hit a bit of a snag. It seems Bank one accidentally returned the check. I contacted Bank One, and they fully admit wrong-doing, and will cheerfully refund the $5 returned item fee my new bank charged, and free up my .59 as well. Here's the problem, now that they've admitted it's their fault,and they've offered to pay it back, I no longer feel it's worth my time to go over there and get it resolved.

" I can see you have written a check for .58, but the account actually has .59 in it"

I would then either have to claim it was a mistake (a lie) or admit to being a smartass, and nobody likes a smartass.

I think I will stop by on my way home, even though it's only $5.59, it's my 5.59 by God.

You can get a pretty decent meal at Vietnam Restaurant for $5.59, I'll bet.

When am I gonna get those Maham Road pictures and have some fellowship with Mintez?

I believe Roberto Mintez needs to go to lunch with Tara and john_clarke.

Ah, Repo Man. So many quotes, so little time...

$5.59...
I could take the train twice for that, and have 9 cents left over!

I think it's worth it.
