This whole thing reminds me of another FT'ers post awhile back about getting thru immigration in Oz:
Immigration: Do you have a criminal history?
FT'er: Is it still required?
Immigration: *stamps passport and laughs* Welcome to Australia.

"Just fill the prescription, Pill Boy."
or
"Hey, doc! Are you filling my prescription or someone else's prescription for dementia? I ask because it seems like you're breaking my chops over my memory."
(Note: I have enormous respect for pharmacists and would never answer the question this way unless the pharmacist asked it more than once.)

This morning while going through Checkpoint B in CLT the ID checker asked everyone their age. Since it was too early for me to think I just responded instead of giving him a piece of my mind. If checking ID names against the boarding pass is for the airline's revenue protection versus safety, why would he care how old I was. .

Old cops' trick much used by interrogators, La Migra and doormen in saloons over-run by under 21s to check for folks carrying someone eelse's ID. If it's your ID, you'll voice amatching age quickly. With that of a girl in the next dorm, the response may not flow as quaickl. Also woks when the last name on the ID is Jones, and you reply with a heavy Spanish accent.
