I operated without a Birth Certificate for over 55 years.

[Sonoman]

Armed with only a Certificate of Birth from the State in which I was born, I somehow managed to obtain a Texas Driver's License, get into and out of the U.S. military, obtain a U.S. Passport, travel hundreds of thousands of miles by air (post9-11) with an expired driver's license accompanied by my Certificate of Birth, vote, get a CA Driver's License (without having to take the Driving Test despite the fact that I had not possessed a valid I.D. for years and have never parked parallel in my life) and all kinds of other crap.

When I went to get a new passport to replace my expired document a clerk at the Post Office noticed that my only I.D. was a Certificate of Birth and was not good enough documentation for a new Passport.

So I called above-mentioned State, told them my name and date of birth. They asked for my mother's maiden name. I gave them a cc# and had an official Birth Certificate in a couple of days.

Do I have to give back all of my frequent flier miles, Mr. Trump?

Can I get back those years when people were shooting at me?

I will wait for your reply on my Evening News, HairBall.

Your friend,

2. I Once Took Care of a Jewish Professor

who was born in Germany before the war escaped without bringing a birth certificate.

Many years later, with a degenerative disease and unable to work, he said to me: "The government won't give me assistance because I don't have a birth certificate. So they'll wait till I die. Then they can give me a death certificate."

3. Millions of pugs operate without a conscience and they have never been pulled

over and ticketed for it.

10. That's because white men between 45 and 65 are never randomly pulled over by

the cops.

5. I am from MI

I never even knew there was a difference between a "certificate of live birth" and a birth certificate until Mr "hair wrap around man" made his foray into the land of stupid...

I pulled my husband's birth certificate, mine and our daughters out--he was born in NY so he has a "birth certificate" my daughter and I have "certificates of live birth" I am 47 and have never been questioned about being born here throughout many jobs etc--WTF? STUPID!

7. There is NO difference. They are two different names for the same thing.

They are both BIRTH RECORDS, and when filed with the state, they are OFFICIAL.

8. Almost...

There really is a difference in some states.

I think the difference is BS.

But there is a difference.

La Vida Loca.
