My husband, a U.S. Coast Guard pilot, was on an exchange tour with the Royal Navy in England.  Everyone who drove through the base’s gates was required to hold an official ID card up to the windshield for inspection by the guards.  As a friendly competition, my husband’s squadron started flashing different forms of ID, such as driver’s license, just to see how far they could go to fool the busy guards.  The winner? The fellow who breezed past waving a piece of toast.

  reminded me of the day I lost my pink ID card 
I'm stilled pissed about it - was going on a local base for some classes, I had been showing my drivers license, but pulled out my pink USMC reverve card and they noticed it had expired by 15 years - so they took it and destroyed the card
