It seems like maybe he might have just made out like the Monopoly man who gets an bank error in his favor...it's either that, or he's about to get screwed one way or another. [more inside]

I'm applying to schools and because I'm a moron, and because of habit, I just accidentally endorsed my own money order. Can I just cross it out and will it still be valid? Will crossing it out make me look like a real idiot to the school I'm applying to? Or should I just leave the error, and pretend like I don't know any better?
