Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

about one in 25 men are not the father of a child they are raising as their own.

Women! You hos! That's no way to behave!

HD guy wants me to UPS him my drive. Hmmph. No, I don't want to leave him alone with it if I can help it. It's not that I think he cares (I'm not that exciting), but still. I need better geek friends.

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

When my sister's GF got pregnant for the first time, I asked her, "How do I know it's mine?"

eta: I wonder if it'd work on cats.... You know, hypothetically, if someone wanted to confuse them....

Why not just call Confuse-a-cat?

No, I want to confuse the humans doing the test. My cat does not need to be confused.

I always love when cashiers scrutinize your signatures

I'll at least look at the signature if the credit card has "See ID" on the back. If the customer willingly hands over the ID, I figure it matches even if it doesn't really. If they're either surprised by the request, or reluctant to show me ID, I would ask them to wait while I check with the manager (I've never had to do this, though).

Because books.

We're supposed to ask for ID for anyone whose card isn't signed, and most people seem really grateful. (The ones who've written "See ID" always are, and say almost no one ever asks.)

It still surprises me when women come in with their husbands' cards, and are surprised when I won't accept it. If it's a joint account, you should have your own card.

There is a moose in the house!

I suspect box training is not an option.

Also, I wouldn't want the moose in there during mating season.
