A man in my grandmother's town in England once got mad at a local shopkeeper and paid him with a check stenciled on the side of a cow.
As amusing as that mental image is ^_^ -- I have to wonder: was the item(s) she was purchasing worth the loss of the cow itself?

Too bad you couldn't have gotten some cardboard, drawn a nice picture of a cordless phone complete with a logo, and give that to him in exchange for the hand-drawn coupon.
I make exceptions now for that smart phone app in which you can upload your various retail membership card numbers, and have it display a scannable bar code. (Of course, our store's scanners don't work on it.)
So I've noticed. I have one of those apps, and the barcode scanners don't read them at all. Not particularly helpful. I got it (free, thankfully) because I actually lost all of my key ring cards at some point, so I wanted to at least have something I could use. No such luck.
Oh, and as for the coupon code on a paper towel? Yeah, I've seen that once before. Store manager happened to be near the register and burst out laughing at the lady. Not very professional, I admit, but it made us cashiers feel better....
