Its true I don't use a license to buy beer. She looks at me real funny then calls the manager who swipes a card and the transaction takes place. I don't use a license to travel either, but if I want to drive in a commercial way I still have one available. Just tell them you don't use one. If they want you to identify yourself ask them for a mirror. Then tell them yes thats me. Quoting: ossbogosley |

Zero tolerance, even if the rules are stupid. Nanny State thinking. |

Is it impossible for someone to put on a costume and makeup and appear to be older than the required age when they are actually not older than the required age? |
