And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But he who endures to the end shall be saved (Mark 13:13).

One Dollar Will

A Philadelphia woman in her will instructed her executor to take one dollar from her estate, invest it and pay the interest on this investment to her husband, “as evidence of my estimate of his worth.” Another woman—also from Philadelphia—bequeathed her divorced husband one dollar to buy a rope to hang himself.

Those Scenic Checks

Banks have long printed checks in a wide spectrum of colors, some have offered checks with floral or scenic backgrounds. The modest-sized Bank of Marin in Marin Country, Calif., has gone one step further. Its customers can simply bring in their own photograph or drawing and have them printed onto a standard check form.

Undeterred by the higher cost, more than 500 customers signed up for the illustrated checks. But perhaps the most imaginative—and vindictive—customer is the one who ordered special checks to be used solely for making his alimony payments. They show him beautifully kissing his new wife.
