    For those wondering, this is a reference to Karl Malden’s (actor) work as spokesman for American Express traveller’s cheques. In the ads people kept losing their wallets and of course if they had Amex cheques they were fine…

    The joke is that Karl was helping them “lose” their wallets

      I remember the frequent traveler’s cheques commercials, but I still didn’t recognize the reference. Thank you for clarifying.
