    A possible explanation in the comments - maybe the last time he bought groceries was in the 70s and he paid with a check? Sometimes they’d make you put your drivers license number on the back.

    Not just the 70's. Some people (mostly older folks) still pay with a check, at least down here. Now, at Wallyworld and some stores, they just run your check through a reader and it instantly deducts from your checking account. They then hand the check back to you.

    But at mom&pops, like the gas station or the burger joint, they want to see your driver's license number, either on the check or the actual license.

    Everywhere ain't New Yawk City.

    Yeah, I bet that's what Trump was referring to. I bet he's got a ton of friends who do that.

    I was only joking

      Maybe I'm the only one here who's ever been asked to show ID when using a credit card at the grocery store? It was a not uncommon occurrence in CA. I don't think it's happened in TX.

      Education is extremely important.

        He might have a lot of friends in Vallejo.

        If you don't take it, it can only good happen.

          Nope, you're not alone. It's not happened to me here in Illinois, but in New Orleans, you betcha.

              Right, clothes make the man.

              You don't get a second chance to make a first impression.

              Your ancestry can help too.

                True. George has Lithuania blood which, to us WASPS, seems a little, well, ethnic.

                I don't know Horace's excuse. Must be the look in his stone cold eyes. Or maybe the bunny costume.

                  Three-quarter Lithuanian blood.

                    You need ID to get a job as a chauffeur and drive the limo to the store to pick up bread for the boss who just got peckish in the middle of the night

                      Speaking of shit that doesn't make much sense...am I imagining the fact that maybe sleepy Joe isn't the only one who isn't playing with a full deck?
