Do you think Project Runway could be improved if the models had to fend off attacks from large predatory birds that try to swoop down and pierce the models' skulls with their thumb-like back talons?
Now you can luxuriate in a nice jail cell, but if your hand touches metal, I swear by my pretty flowered bonnet, I will end you.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah, I can see how it could be taken that way now that you point it out. Didn't occur to me, though.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Your name doesn't have to be on your credit card? I thought even company cards did that. Is it then all about the signatures matching? Because as often as not, I need to show picture ID when I use the credit card.
Well, often as not when I'm not at a restaurant. They never seem to care.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I don't think I've ever been asked for ID with a credit card.
I do know that restaurant critics often have credit cards with fake names on them to preserve their anonymity when they're eating out (to avoid getting special treatment and skewing the review).
Stores are supposed to care about signatures, but I remember reading a while ago about a guy who decided to test this theory and started signing all of his credit card receipts with increasingly obvious fake signatures. He started with celebrity names, moved on to fictional characters, and eventually just doodles. He never got caught, and ended the experiment only when he got bored with it. [eta: Here's the story.]

I'm assuming they can do that for things like restaurant reviewers - I didn't look to see what this guy actually does, or if that sort of thing would apply. I wonder what you have to do to get them to do that.

You can order additional cards for your account and put any name you want on them. There's no special procedure.

I don't remember MI so much, but here my debit card has my photo on it, and it's forestalled a number of requests for photo ID -- I guess that could work with the no name thing. My "real" credit card--as I said, when not eating out, it's about 50-50.

If I only had a brain...
I've known people who wrote "Check ID" on the signature line of the credit card so that the clerks will always request ID. Dunno how well that works.

bet it only works for tellers who'd check the signature anyway -- which most don't.
