Thanks to the popularity of credit cards, many colleges no longer offer a major in filling out checks. Here's a guide:

1. Your Address: Similar to how you should dress for the job you want, your checks should list the address you wish you had. This is why most checks list the White House or an imagined attic above a McDonald's as the address.

2. Date: If you would like to date the person you are sending money to, write yes on this line.

3. Payable to the Order of: Write the name of the secret religious or fraternal order you want the money to go to on this line.

4. $: This one is obvious—circle the dollar sign if you want your intended recipient to receive some money.

5. MP: Write the name of your favorite member of Parliament on this line. If your check clears, this counts as voting for him.

6. Number Line: This string of digits is the maximum amount you can write a check for.

7. This is your phone number.
