Ira lays out the rules of life.
"rule number one, you don't write checks you don't got money for"
"you wait for your deposit to clear before you write the checks."
"no, that's negative sir, you don't want to post date the checks, cause of rule number one, plus somebody could come charge you with check fraud for that."
"so what you do is, when you runnin low, write the checks first, then don't use the ATM card till they clear... just use cash if you got it, or live lean for a day or two. after that you use the atm card all the time, cause if you low, the card just won't go, and you can't bounce the debit card. no. no, it just won't go.... so what if the grocery clerk sees that the card won't go? he prolly ain't got no money neither. so what if you get embarrased? at least you won't get the fee for writin a rubber check, and you can just blame it on the strip."
"cause i know what you doin. you writin the check thinkin the check won't clear and the deposit will go in, but it won't. oh, it's a direct deposit? well you see, whn you got a holiday, they post it late and the bills come and take it early. yeah, we had Martin Luther King day. yup. let me tell you something sir. you don't rob peter to pay paul, cause then peter don't ever get paid. all right? anything else? you have a great evening ok? bye bye."
