Today I got in the mail, among other things, a cheque for my share of the proceeds in a transfer of some stock in a spinoff of some shares I hold with a media corporation

LOL growing up my mom used to receve checks from the oil company who was pumping out oil from under her property and everyone around us. They were similar to the one you recieved, a few cents each, with a stamp on the envelope that was worth more than the check inside. I never understood it

LOL Yeah, it makes little sense. But I am not complaining-- it was very amusing!
(As for 'ilk" -- I really did know what the word meant, though perhaps I was not as well versed on the etymology -- so thanks for the education! But in usage, I found myself seeing an ilk as an animal, and decided to run with it.
By the way -- an ilk is lavender. In case you should wonder. Dr. Seuss was the only known artist to accurately capture the ilk in its native habitat. Though they've been seen in domestic situations, most often dining out with celebrities and dignitaries -- never with the bourgeois class -- and usually can be found with a linen napkin tied just so around their long and slender furry necks.)
Never, ever are they to be confused with an elk. Because that would just be silly.
In the car this morning Vincent asked me if a sheep and a goat were the same animal or different animals, you would think he's never been to a zoo...lol. I don't know how that was related to your post, but I keep thinking about that conversation...
hahaha great post. Only! like just sending you a check for 77 cents wasn't enough shame. lol.
I'd frame that sucker. or perhaps cash it in and take 3 quaters to go to the store and stick a quarter in each bubble gum machine and give it a half turn.
Imagine the look on the kids faces when they discover they can get a free gum ball.
Bubble gum? *gasp* SQUANDER my fortune on gum? Perish the thought!
I shall perhaps invest... half... my fortune on something more lasting. Like one of those lovely light-up necklaces (from the machines NEXT to your peasant BUBBLE GUM.)
