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

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.

My signature is totally smeared off my card on the back.

Good thing it is also printed (by the cc company, not me) on the front. And it has a 13 year old picture of me. I really need to send them something more recent.

My first thought at seeing the couple climbing into bed with a moose was "There is a relationship that needs refocusing."

I can see not wanting to be in close proximity to your partner in bed...hey, I sleep alone coupled or uncoupled...but when you invite a MOOSE to make the point? Overkill.

Not to mention...what if that behemoth rolls over in the night? Partner Pancake!!
