A young bride walked into a bank to cash a check. She was somewhat taken aback when the clerk informed her that the check would have to be indorsed by her before it could be cashed.
"Why, it's a good check. My husband sent it to me. He's away on business."
"Yes, madam, it's perfectly all right. But, please sign it on the back so that your husband will know that you got the money."
The bride walked to the writing desk, seemed to be lost in deep contemplation for a moment, and then returned to the teller's window and handed the check to him.
Great was his surprise when he saw scrawled across the back of the check: "Your loving wife, Ethel."
