You're at a bar, but forgot your ID. How do you prove you were born in 1997 or earlier?


  1. Bartender: Have your ID? Me: No, I forgot it. How can I prove that I'm over 21? Bartender: Go get your fucking ID.

  2. In all seriousness, you can't. When I'm buying beer at the grocery store I get carded even though my beard is half gray and I have my two teenage kids with me.

  7. Flash the bouncer. Either they will love my tits and let me in, or they will go "yep, you're old." And let me in. Win-win.

  8. I have a picture of my drivers license in my google drive. It worked for me 3/3 times

  9. "ID, please." "... Damn, I must have forgotten it at home." "No ID, no entry." "Aw, come on! I'm old enough! Honestly, I can prove it!" "Oh, yeah? How?" "I, uh... I used to de-spaghettify my cassette tapes with a pencil." "That's not really proof, is it? You could have read about people doing that." "Fair point. Okay, how about this: I remember drinking Ecto Cooler!" "No dice. They brought it back in 2016." "Really?" "Yeah. It wasn't as good." "It was never good. It was just green." "Heh, yeah. Okay, I guess you really drank it." "That's proof, right?" "I don't know..." "Alright, here's undeniable proof: *Deee-dee-deee deeKRSSSHHT! Dee-KRRSSHHHHT!*" "What are you..." "Nrr-*KSSHT*, nrr-*KSSHT*, *KSHHHHHHT!*" "Are you having a stroke?" "No, I'm imitating a modem." "Huh. Mine always went *Tshhhting-tshhting*-KRAKRAKA-*chchchchch*-dingDING." "Oh, you had America Online, didn't you?" "It's kind of pathetic that you can tell that based on the dialup noise." "I guess... but it's proof, right? Can I come in now?" "Sure. Just show me your ID." ------ **TL;DR: I'd reminisce about the nineties, then make obnoxious noises.**
