I'm Going To Heaven....

I had a customer that needed to give me a 1500 dollar down payment for some work that needs to be done at her house. Well, she made the check out and when I looked at it, she mistakenly made it out for 15 thousand dollars. She is the type that would actually have that kind of money in her checking account. However, being the honest person I am, I pointed out her mistake...I did get a fleeting moment of spending the winter in a warm region...but I guess my conscience couldn't handle it....damn it's going to get cold here... ...

My bank made that mistake once on a $10,000 deposit.Added the extra zero!

Needless to say,they caught it before I could make a withdrawal!

I did a balance inquire at an ATM on one of my accounts...the balance came back as $999,999.99 ...one cent short of being a millionaire...
