It was penmanship, not spelling. You’ll have to have one of our vice presidents initial your note. That’s our policy.
You’re right. I got it confused with an episode of Sanford and Son, where Fred was reminiscing about his younger days when he played a role in a bank robbery with his then friend “Carol”. Fred’s job was to hand the teller a stickup note that Carol had written. It read something like: “Put all the money in this brown piper bug or I will short your herd off”.
The YouTube clip is not of good quality, but it was the only one I could find on that scene.
