AN OLD MAN WENT TO THE SOCIAL SECURITY OFFICE TO
APPLY FOR SOCIAL SECURITY.
AFTER WAITING IN LINE A LONG TIME, HE GOT TO THE
COUNTER. THE WOMAN BEHIND THE COUNTER ASKED HIM FOR
HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE TO VERIFY HIS AGE.
HE CHECKED HIS POCKETS AND REALIZED HE HAD LEFT
HIS WALLET AT HOME. HE TOLD THE WOMAN THE HE WAS
VERY SORRY BUT HE SEEMED TO HAVE LEFT HIS WALLET AT
HOME. "I WILL HAVE TO GO HOME AND COME BACK LATER."
THE WOMAN SAYS, "UNBUTTON YOUR SHIRT." SO HE OPENS
HIS SHIRT REVEALING LOTS OF CURLY SILVER HAIR. SHE
SAYS, "THAT SILVER HAIR ON YOUR CHEST IS PROOF
ENOUGH FOR ME," AND SHE PROCESSED HIS SOCIAL
SECURITY APPLICATION.
WHEN HE GETS HOME, THE MAN EXCITEDLY TELLS HIS
WIFE ABOUT HIS EXPERIENCE AT THE SOCIAL SECURITY
OFFICE.
SHE SAID, "YOU SHOULD HAVE DROPPED YOUR PANTS. YOU
MIGHT HAVE GOTTEN DISABILITY, TOO."
