A friend of hers rang up the telephone company to cancel the mobile phone subscription of her recently deceased father. “My father died recently,” she said, “and I’d like to cancel his phone.”
“I’m sorry,” said the customer service representative at the other end, “but we’ll have to speak to him in person.”
“Did you hear what I said?” asked the friend. “He’s dead. This is his PIN number…”
“I’m afraid we have to speak to him in person…”
No, really.

(Though “brains brains brains brains” wouldn’t be a very secure PIN.)

Also on the amazing front, they ID card you here if you want to buy beer and look UNDER 50. You can have a passel of grandchildren with you and crow’s feet that won’t quit and some nitwit will still card you for wanting to buy a bottle of wine to go with the spaghetti.
The stupid. It burns.

Alankria – she did eventually, I think (?)
Kirby – last time I got asked for my ID I was about 32, I think. I felt kind of flattered!
Laurie – some sort of Anita Blake / Monty Python parrot crossover joke…
Colin – stupid mortality, and stupid mortals. I’m sorry about your mother and grandfather. That’s really sad.
