College Is Good For One Thing At Least
(A friend and I unexpectedly have to take the train back from Thanksgiving break. As we wait in line to pick up our tickets, I see several large signs saying you’re required to have government issued ID to take the train. I start to panic since I don’t have any one me.)
Me: *to cashier* “I’m sorry but I don’t have any government-issued ID on me. Is there any way I could still ride?”
Friend: *to me* “Do you have your college ID? Maybe that would work?”
Me: *to cashier* “I do have my college ID but that’s not government issued…”
Cashier: “Oh, that’s fine, honey! Colleges are like the government!”
(Happily handed us our tickets.)
