the social security saga (FYI)

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 seemed to have left my
wallet at home "I will 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 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."
