Huge check from my Dad!!!!
My father passed away October, 25th 2016 at the age of 75.
My father gave me this check on my seventh birthday.
I found it in a box of stuff and never knew I had it.
Happy Father's Day 2017
FP Edit: Yes I reposted this from the first time I found the check but it's my first Father's day without him. I regret nothing!

My mother worked for that bank in a different town about 40 years ago.

That's the most beautiful dad joke I've ever seen.
beerlady
aw...that's my bday
TedTheMan
Happy bday to come.
Katinthebox
I feel like your Dad missed his ultimate joke by not naming you John, but Steven is good too.
wowheylookdotcom
Stuff like this is so helpful in coping. I have a dollar my grandfather lost on a bet with me in the envelope he mailed me.
puffyeye
My dad can't afford that.

I actually can't see, the tears are falling too fast, help

My dad's getting to be about 75. I didn't need this D':

I feel that :(

How could anyone downvote this ?

I usually downvote whenever I see a comment that says who would downvote this

There may be a way to alter that check to like $100,000
kirosharlequin
It will probably bounce
JeffySexyPants
I'll give you $20 for it.
Slowpool
If my Dad had given me this, it'd bounce.

If this stays popular long enough- I think you just predicted tomorrow's bad-dad joke!

This is the absolute perfect example of how to utilize a dad joke and show your love at the same time. What a champ.
YourFriendBen
I like how the heart is carefully still a zero, just in case.
blainetog
While also being a cheapskate. Classic dad.
LordDarkwood
Gonna be sad if it bounces and costs him a $35 fee. "Your love is overdrawn".

"... and you can take that to the bank!"
astrangehop
You go to one of those check dashing places though and they take like ten percent of your father's love
o11c
I have literally never understood why those places even exist.
WarfritLive
Convenience.
LordDarkwood
They let you write them a post-dated check (i.e. you get cash now, they cash the check in a week etc). Basically short term loans.
Mintd2
No you can't lmao.. If they took personal cheque they would be out of business from scammers. You can cash a post-dated certified cheque tho
Mintd2
Or a work or government cheque, but they will call to verify with employer.
LordDarkwood
Post dated personal checks are exactly what they'll do. They check you have a job and verify bank account 1/2

My Grandparents adopted me. Both of them died by the time I was 15. Their handwriting is the most precious thing. Their thoughts on paper.

Your dad was 41 when you were born?
BoopedYourSnoot
I dated a girl, dad was in his 70s when she was born. Her mom was like 25 and went on to become a lesbian after his death. Girl had baggage.
ash291
This was my first thought. I'm so thankful my mom had me young so barring unforeseen circumstances I'll have a lot of time with her.
mindflayer
I'm 46, and my son is celebrating his 1st birthday this month. It's pushed me to get back into shape more than anything else.
Katalliaan
It's not too unbelievable. Mine was in his late 40s when I was born.
LinkinPiper
Kinda looks like a heart and not a zero. I think you were supposed to deposit it in your heart. Who gives their kids checks at 7 anyways.
CatsOrExcited
(It *IS* a heart. It was supposed to be cute.)
LinkinPiper
I thought so myself, have a kitty.
SidneyHarbor
My grandparents used to mail me checks when I was a little kid. Gift cards were uncommon in 1990 and you should never mail cash.
LinkinPiper
I was sent cash o_o
onyerselweeman
My gran still sends us cheques in the post for birthdays and Christmas. Old people love cheques.
Katalliaan
Tell that to my father, who sent me a $20 when it was time for my car's emissions test.
mustlovedoggos
All of the comments about the last name are why, when I got married and changed my name, I was kina relieved. Having to spell Hancock (1)
mustlovedoggos
over the phone, etc. always went "yes..h-a-n...mmhmm c-o-c-k...." The cock part always needed to be repeated. Good times (2)

I bet you can cash that outside, now how about that?

We have a winner here.

NickBlacksHumor
Well dates not right so the bank won't let you cash it
umikaloo
Too valuable, putting it back in the system now would crash the economy.
ErinFromTheOffice
And I'm not sure they'd accept the "Dad" signature.
HarryPotterReferenceProbably
Well a signature can be anything afaik. Right? I thought
nitemancometh
You guys are horrible. +1
TanstaaflTovarisch
A signature can be anything you use consistently by law. Can sign "The Once and Future King" on everything and that would be legal.
ErinFromTheOffice
Being legal and being accepted by a bank are different.
TanstaaflTovarisch
Until the 90s they would accept anything as long as they had record that you signed like that every time. Now checks aren't common, so (1/2)
TanstaaflTovarisch
you're probably right about banks not taking them now, but I honestly don't know. (2/2)
Temptedweeds
Hypothetically if you did that would your actual name not be legal?
TanstaaflTovarisch
Name and signature are not related legally. Laws were made when a lot of people couldn't read.
Corbinator
Most Somalis at my job sign X for their names on everything
SatoriEnlightenment
What is wrong with the date? "Aug 31 1990"
DonGatelyAtEnnetHouseDrugAndAlcoholRecoveryHouse
Try cashing a check dated over 25 years ago and see how far that gets you.
fleXbad
It's probably the DOB of OP
jdizz3416
The check is stale dated. Generally anything over 6 months old is void.
stonedcloud
Date is correct, too old to cash. Irritated me a little too that that person claimed the date is wrong.
Anonaru
As a consumer / commercial banker / analyst, I got a little secret on this. For all intents and purposes, "stale dating" is gray area, 1/
Anonaru
and there is no legal regulation being voided when a stale dated item is negotiated. Rebate checks and the sort are the most frequent 2/
Anonaru
violated, not voided* :(
Anonaru
source of stale-dating. So that institutions do not get burned by random old arse checks being sneaked into ATMs and the sort, 3/
Flenop
Maybe they're foreign and are expecting the D/M/Y format?
SerOddgar
This is the internet. The only foreigners are the ones crossing the border from 9gag and iFunny.
Flenop
Well, I mean...the internet is always a strange and foreign place. So...
Mindthegabe
Is anyone outside the US even using checks in day to day business anymore? Because I'm german and here it was outdated before I was born...
Flenop
Checks are kinda rare even in the US. It's mostly folks over a certain age that still use them. Mostly. Some yung'ins use them too.
Mindthegabe
Thanks for the info, US is the only place I ever heard is still using them (even mailing them? seems kinda risky but idk)

As a black person, maybe definitely don't call us that. #PSA

Yes. It's the act of being negatively stereotyped.

People can be niggardly which has nothing to do with the slur, but idiots jump to conclusions, so we can't use it anymore.

Haha, my comment was forcibly deleted, imgur doesn't like the n word. Be careful!

Well, my GF was called racist for referring to black Friday.

Is that because it's a check ? Or you don't know your dad ?

Trying to understand.... Please clarify.... Why are you offended by a check from a young boy's father? #BLACKMOM
BiggieSmallsIsTheIllest
It's a joke. Because it's a sterotype that black father's aren't around and it upset him
JustSomeGuyWithAComputer
A father would have taught him to manage his feelings better.
