The social security administration offices, along with driver’s license bureaus and any other public department that requires long lines is always an interesting place to watch people I think. Today I had to run by the SS office to get my name changed on my social security card for my passport. I had a pretty good laugh at this one. There was a man sitting in the front row waiting. He looked pretty buff, and pretty tough too. Goatee, shaved head, kinda mean looking but not bad, about 40 years old. So they call his number. The office had three windows and a chair in front of each one. There was no privacy and you could hear everything that the people were telling the SS employees. So, this guy sits down and spreads out a whole bunch of papers on the desk. He proceeds to ask how he can get a social security card. The guy behind the desk asks him if he has ever had one before, and the man replies yes, but that he has just gotten out of prison and needs a new one. The guy behind the desk hands him some forms and then hands the guy this pen that has a HUGE bunch of flowers taped to it. I was trying so hard not to laugh my ass off. Here is this tough guy, straight out of prison, filling out forms with a gigantic flower pen. I tried to get my camera phone out to get a picture but he was too fast. So, I only got a picture of the pen. Still hilarious though.
