Social Security Application
After retiring, I went to the Social Security office to apply for Social Security. The woman behind
the counter asked me for my driver’s License to verify my age. I looked in my pockets and realized
I had left my wallet at home. I told the woman that I was very sorry, but I would have to go home
and come back later. The woman said, ‘Unbutton your shirt’. So I opened my shirt revealing my
curly silver hair. She said, ‘That silver hair on your chest is proof enough for me’ and she
processed my Social Security application. When I got home, I excitedly told my wife about my
experience at the Social Security office. She said, ‘You should have dropped your pants. You might
have gotten disability too.’
