I needs me some collapsible white stick. Qualify for it, too.

I've had enough dirty looks, it's not that much of a deal.

It was my turn to be amused when I handed the Too Stupid
Asshats a passport card, and they couldn't figure out what
it was, despite its snazzy Department of State seal and
other entertaining identifiers. They asked if I had anything
else, and I said I was unwilling to offer anything and it
was their legal responsibility to accept this. So the
supervisor on duty, perhaps a tiny point or two more
IQtudinous than the guards, was called, and I repeated my
position. All of this was performed in a fairly mellow way.
Eventually as it was near boarding time, and I had had
several beers and needed to find a toilet, I said, if I
show you an additional ID, you will forevermore accept
the card, and the supervisor said yes (this exchange was
really stupid as it vitiated both my and the supervisor's
stance, but I had to pee). I said shake on it, and he
extended his hand, and I was through after one of the more
bizarre encounters of the century.
