I dedicate this post to my new hero, my ex-coworker (who shall remain nameless to protect him) for sending me this awesome email about our other ex-coworker. I know it's not kind to laugh at other people's misfortunes, but I laughed for hours after reading this:

Nov. 25 - A Chicago man is accused of cashing counterfeit payroll checks at businesses in north Alabama.

Police say he cashed the checks on accounts like Krystal, Union Food Corporation and Barnhills Buffet.

Decatur Police say 39-year old J**** G***** has made more than $10,000 in the past two months cashing counterfeit checks. The first set of checks he passed off to merchants looked authentic.

Police say G***** used a computer generated check and printed on plain paper.

G****** was arrested at the Super Eight Motel in Decatur. He is charged with 16 counts of theft by deception and possession of drugs.

I was thinking it's not a secret since it's out on the internet, but I won't link it since it gives his real name, so just trust me on this...

We all had a lot of good times with old JG when he was working at X-Systems. He told a lot of tall tales and we only believed a couple of them. He was a smooth talker on the phone and it was always entertaining (yet a little uncomfortable at times) to listen to him butter up the ladies. He always had stories of parties he went to and how many times he got laid, or the time he was in Desert Storm and took a bullet. We knew he was a big BS-er but not this bad!
