Joe Biden walks into a bank to cash a check. As he approaches the cashier he says, āGood morning, Maāam, could you please cash this check for me?
Cashier: āIt would be my pleasure sir. Could you please show me your ID?ā
Biden: āTruthfully, I did not bring my ID with me as I didnāt think there was any need to. I am Joe Biden, the President of the United States of America !!!!ā
Cashier: āYes sir, I know who you are, but with all the regulations and monitoring of the banks because of impostors and forgers and requirements of the banking legislation, etc., I must insist on seeing ID.
Biden: āJust ask anyone here at the bank who I am and they will tell you. Everybody
knows who I am.ā
Cashier: āI am sorry, Mr. Biden, but these are the bank rules and I must follow them.ā
Biden: āMy goodness. I am urging you, please, to cash this check.ā
Cashier: āLook Mr. Biden , here is an example of what we can do. One day, Tiger Woods came into the bank without ID. To prove he was Tiger Woods he pulled out his putter and made a beautiful shot across the bank into a cup. With that shot we knew him to be Tiger Woods and cashed his check.
Another time, Andre Agassi came in without ID. He pulled out his tennis racket and made a fabulous shot; the tennis ball landed in my coffee cup. With that shot we cashed his check.
So, Mr. Biden, what can you do to prove that it is you, and only you?ā
Biden stands there thinking, and thinking, and finally says, āHonestly, my mind is a total blank, I have absolutely no idea what to do, I donāt have a clue.ā
Cashier: āWill that be large or small bills, Mr. Biden?
