Proof Of Age
Trying to apply for a proof of age card the other day. The form said I need to get someone such as a Justice of the Peace, a policeman, a school principal etc. who had known me for more than twelve months to sign the form. I don’t know anyone in Melbourne like that. It’s kind of funny, because I didn’t have to get a JP to sign to get my passport, an internationally recognised document. But for this piece of plastic, it is so.
“If you don’t know one of these people, call this number 1300 xxx xxx to make alternative arrangements.”
Okay, cool. Turns out the alternative arrangements were more or less the lady saying “Are you sure you don’t know one of those people?”
“Yes.”
“Really?”
“Yes.”
“Hm…”
Then she said “…Twelve months is only a guideline.” She’s saying that a registered nurse fits in these categories. I said “How so? It’s not listed.”
“Look at item Y.”
Item Y says something like “A person who is employed by the nature of the classification under the Act Of Demographic Apologism 1983 or by which wherefore the classification could be classified accordingly heretofore that person notwithstanding.”
“Yeah, that means a public servant.”
“Why doesn’t it say that?”
“It’s an old… document.”
As it stands, I still haven’t found someone to sign it who fits under item Y.
