I ordered a box of checks a while back and when the lady asked me what kind I wanted, I told her just the plain ones.
You know, the plain ones. The ones without cartoons, dolphins, watermark swirls and decorative borders. There are no sunrises I want to see on my checks and no teams I'm interested in supporting.
Or is there?
Apparently there is, because when my box o' checks arrived, each one had a Toledo Muds Hens logo on them. At first I thought it was an ad. You know, like, Your next box of checks can have a cool logo like this one! But no, that wasn't the case. Every check in the box had a angry looking Mud Hen (whatever that is) holding a bat.
I'd never heard of the Toledo Mud Hens before. I've since learned they are a minor league ball team. (Sometimes when I tell this story to people I accidentally call them the Toledo Mud Heels.)
Briefly I thought about calling the bank, just to tell them they had made a mistake. But I thought, Eh well, so I love the Toledo Mud Hens, it could be worse.

You didn't have to pay for the schmancy checks, did you?
If you did, you should make sure that a percentage of that fee goes to support the ole Mud Hens. You could be helping keep Free Eyeglasses Repair Kit Night going strong!
Didn't you ever watch MASH? Klinger was a huge Mud Hens fan..I saw him on TV a few weeks ago at a game with BJ Honeycutt. For real.
I feel sorry for the lady. She obviously has a hearing problem. "Just the plain ones" = "Must be Mud Hens." See...
