re: #191 Erik The Red

After retiring, I went to the Social Security office to apply for Social
Security.

The woman behind the counter asked me for my driver’s license to verify
my age.

I looked in my pockets and realized I had left my wallet at home.

I told the woman that I was very sorry, but I would have to go home
and come back later.

The woman said, ‘Unbutton your shirt’.

So I opened my shirt revealing my curly silver hair.

She said, ‘That silver hair on your chest is proof enough for me’ and she
processed my Social Security application.

When I got home, I excitedly told my wife about my experience at the
Social Security office.

She said, ‘You should have dropped your pants. You might have gotten
disability, too’

And then the fight started …

LOL! I have Epilepsy and recently received a “fully favorable” decision in my case. Today, I received a letter with the amount of back pay I’ll be getting since my first turn down. It’s been almost 7 years since I was first turned down. I’ll be getting a nice lump sum here in a few weeks.
