A contribution from one of our agents

Ed. here. During Walt's self-exile, we welcome contributions from our agents. Agent 9 has stepped up with this bit of Canadiana.

Justin Trudeau walks into a Royal Bank to cash a cheque. As he approaches the cashier he says: "Good morning, Ma'am, could you please cash this cheque for me?" 

Cashier: "It would be my pleasure sir. Could you please show me your ID?"

Trudeau: "Truthfully [Seriously? Ed.], I didn't bring my ID with me as I didn't think there was any need to. I am Justin Trudeau, the leader of the Liberal Party of Canada and Prime Minister of all Canuckistan!" 

Cashier: "Yes 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 CIDC legislation, etc., I must insist on seeing ID."

Trudeau: "Just ask anyone here at the bank who I am and they will tell you. Everybody knows who I am."

Cashier: "I am sorry, Mr. Trudeau, but these are the bank rules and I must follow them."

Trudeau: "I am urging you, please, to cash this cheque."

Cashier: "Well, Mr. Trudeau, maybe we could do something like this. 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 cheque. "Another time, Andre Agassi came in without ID. He pulled out his tennis racket and made a fabulous shot whereas the tennis ball landed in my cup. With that shot we cashed his cheque. So, Mr. Trudeau, what can you do to prove that it is you, and only you?"

Trudeau stands there thinking and thinking, and finally says: "Honestly [Seriously? Ed.], my mind is totally blank, I have absolutely no idea what to do, I don't have a clue." 

Cashier: "Will that be large or small bills, Mr. Trudeau?"

I suspect that the target of this little jape was originally President Brandon, the one who stashes top-secret documents near his Corvette, in case he or The Boy needs them while out for a Sunday drive. Thanks and a tip o' the beretta to Agent 9.
