Here's your earnest money...

These questions just crack me up:

"... Earl and Baron agreed on June 15 as the closing date. Baron handed Earl a check for $2,500 and said, "Here's your earnest money. I'll see you on June 15." Earl responded, "You betcha," and that men shook hands on their deal. On the memo part of the check, Baron had written "Earnest money- Grayacre...."

Seriously, this had me laughing for a good minute. I went and told my husband about it and declared that when we buy a house, I'm writing "earnest money" on the check memo. He didn't get it.
