I would've suggested the following as a response:
ReplyDelete"I am sorry, but past experience dating a Chicago Blackhawks hockey fan, and the fact that he insisted on listening to a recording of music from Chicago Stadium played on the organ during lovemaking, has turned me off of anything related to both hockey and the organ. I regret that I am unable to consider you as a roommate at this time."
Of course, the fact that they're obviously trying to get you to deposit their check and refund the balance from your account, before you find out that the check bounced, is kind of an even bigger reason to reject them.
