Applying for social security benefits

Oxford · 05-09-2002, 11:41 PM

A retired gentleman went to the Social Security Office to apply for his Social Security benefits.
After waiting in line for a long time he finally got to the counter. The woman behind the counter
asked him for his driver's license to verify his age.

He looked in his pockets and realized that he had left his wallet at home. He told the woman
that he was very sorry, but that he seemed to have forgotten to bring it along with him.

He said, "I will have to go home and come back later."

The woman said, "That's okay sir just unbutton your shirt." He opened his shirt to reveal a
great deal of curly silver hair on his chest. "That silver hair is more than enough to convince
me that you are old enough to receive Social Security benefits," she replied as she began
processing his application.

When the man got home he excitedly told his wife about his experience at the Social
Security Office. His wife had only one thing to say, "You should have dropped your pants,
you might have gotten disability, too!"
