Check's in the mail

When you have no intention of paying for something/don't believe something. People used to pay for things by check and it would take some time to arrive. If you didn't have money, you could buy something without paying, saying "the check's in the mail."
"Hey, when are you going to pay me for that weed?" "The check's in the mail, bro."
"The supreme court is going to uphold the voting rights act? Yeah right. The check's in the mail."
