Of course they return the paper - if you'll look, you'll notice that
every one of your cleared checks has a statement on the back (or
wherever the clearing house marked it) that says "Do Not Wire
Non-Payment" - i.e., we want the check back, don't send us a telegram (or
some other kind of message) instead."  Its probably cheaper than a
registered telegram or whatever the requirement was to use if that
statement didn't appear.  You think they do it cause its faster? Not if
a week or two longer will be cheaper!
