Fake IDs


Every year, tons of high school and college students obtain fake IDs. Some of these IDs are for age 21, so that underage kids are able to drink while others just want an 18 ID so they can get into clubs or bars. Sometimes fake IDs will work, and sometimes the attempt is unsuccessful.


Last night I waited on line outside a club with my friends. In front of us, there was a group of people who were clearly not of age to get in to this club. As one girl handed over her ID, the bouncer burst out saying, "YOU ACTUALLY WANT PEOPLE TO BELIEVE THIS IS YOU!?" The bouncer held the ID under a camera lens that projected the picture onto the wall for everyone to see. It was a terrible picture and the girl looked nothing like the one in the photograph. The bouncer proceeded to do this with every one of the young girls' IDs. They were put up on screen for pure amusement of others. He handed back their IDs and told the girls to go away.

As the girls walked away in defeat, we all stood and laughed. I have to say that this man was the funniest bouncer I have seen in a long time.
