And he's like, really?

Next morning, I'm at Wells Fargo in Santa Monica with an eraser mate pen.

Remember those?

And I'm buying traveler's checks.

That afternoon, I'm at the place where you buy the Kelly paper.

They were over there, I think, on Olympic Day.

olympic or no olympic olympic over by the bundy area i go in there there's every kind of paper you know so i got these travelers checks out in one hand i'm testing all these papers 20 pound paper 25 pound paper 40 pound paper finally i sell on the 20 pound paper um and uh so i get the paper and i get these clear plastic mylar um thing you know that they use for presentations that they write on the projector so i buy a bunch of those

I get a ruler.

I line up the checks on the clear paper.

One, two, three.

Right.

Copy the backside first.

Flip them over a hundred.

Same paper.

Flip it over and then copy the front side.

And exacto knife, and boom, we were rich, $30,000 for every 100 pages you make.

Obviously, this then rapidly expanded into $500 checks and $1,000 checks.

And you're going to Good Guys or Circuit City at that time to buy a TV, and you use a traveler's check.

Guess what they put on the receipt?

Yeah, you bring it back to another one.
