If you can write on it, you can make a contract out of it, and a check is nothing more than a contract; as such, one may submit their payment to the IRS in any negotiable form. The ideas given on the show were to send the IRS checks written on either a toilet seat or a 3 foot long piece of sewer pipe. Any item that is rigid can be used, as long as it is inconvenient for the receiving end. Manwich suggested taping a regular check to the top of a toilet seat to make the process easier for the person paying the IRS; in this instance the IRS agent my be able to remove the check with out ripping it. To make the check impossible to remove with out destroying it, apply some adhesive (such as a light application of super glue or spray-on adhesive) to the back of the check when affixing it to the item of payment. Be sure not to utilize a used toilet seat unless you want to defend yourself in court against biological weapon charges.

Triddle called in about this topic because Ian had declared the end of his paying United States income tax and Manwich indicated he was not yet brave enough to take such action.
