    Banks will pay off if you find the error promptly. They take the risk, not you. When filling out the request for compensation form you will be asked if you write down your PIN number. The correct answer is NO.

    Custom ear plugs

    ^ the custom audiologist plugs have less sound reduction (about 20db) than the roll em up cheapies (25db+) but that's good enough to be safe and are more comfortable.

    Oprah can't afford a $38,000 purse.
