Random brain fart #factoid: The words on a check aren't one entity. Instead, "Pay to" refers to the payee, and "The order of" refers to the dollar amount. For example: "Pay to" Jane Doe "the order of" five dollars. Why does this bug me? Because my brain is twitchy as hell. π€·π€¦ #Trivia #Random

#Factoid:
Something about a stinking lie.
If one tells it. It dies quite easily. If a whole group sings the same song, more people accept the lie without fact checking, tapping their feet, while bopping to the tune of it.
Still doesn't pass the sniff test! It still smells of "ish"!
