Do I have to Spoon Feed You the Answer?
I tried getting into a museum for a student price. I showed my 10-year-old college ID to the money-collecting woman. She looked at my ID and said this expired. I protested slightly, but knew I had been caught so I let it go. Then, all offended, she asks me, "Why would you lie?" What kind of stupid question is that? "Why would I lie?" To pay less money. A better question would have been, "Why wouldn't you want to pay full price and support the museum and the culture held within it?" And then I would have had to admit, "Because I'm a cheap soulless creature." Which is not something she could have necessarily rationally deducted.

For some reason that I can't explain, this had me laughing harder than usual at your sense of humor. Funny story. Perhaps I like it so much because I still use my old college ID too. But there is no expiration date on mine, so theoretically, I could use it until I am eligible for the Senior Citizens discount.
