Cash on delivery (Engl. Payment by cash on delivery ) or For ever rushing the funds is a play by Michael Cooney .

action

Eric Swan's previous lodger, Mr. Thompson, emigrated to Canada but is still receiving unemployment benefits . Eric Swan uses this for himself, since he recently lost his job. Over time, he invented new people and names to collect their welfare benefits, which works fine for a while, but since everything is getting kind of over his head, he decides to let them die one by one.

One morning Mr. Jenkins comes from Social Services and asks for a signature from Mr. Thompson (who is no longer there, of course). In addition, Eric's wife Linda finds some wigs, breastfeeding bras (and other items that Eric picked up from the recipes for his fictional lodgers) and fears that her husband is homosexual . When the community nurse also believes that Eric's current lodger, Norman Bassett (whom Eric reported to Social Services as an unemployed “deaf” piano tuner) is his own son, whose father died that morning, a lot of embarrassing situations and mix-ups ensue.

On November 19, 2005, the comedy was seen for the first time on Sat.1 on German television.
