I hadn't heard that one before.  :-)

My second publisher cut my first cheque for $1.86; they won't do that 
anymore, if it's less than $25, they roll it forward until the 
accumulated total is > $25.

(First publisher never actually cut me any cheques after the advance - 
the book didn't actually make the advance back).

The $1.86 cheque is in a frame on one of the bookcases here in my 
office. :-)
