Fred's Taco Tuesdays

So I went to PB (pacific beach) tonight for tacos and beer with friends. Here's what happened when I handed the bouncer my ID:

(Bouncer stares at my ID. Bends it and whatnot)
Bouncer: How old are you?
Me: 22
Bouncer (looking confused): When did you graduate from high school?
Me: uh.. 2003
Bouncer (still looking hesitant about believing me): Do you have another form of ID I can see? credit/atm card? Anything with your name on it.
(I handed him my visa card. He looks at it and pauses.)
Bouncer: Can you take off your hat?
Me: Sure. (takes off hat)
(He looks at me and I then put my hat back on
)
Bouncer (still staring at my ID): What is your zodiac sign?
Me: What was that?
Bouncer: What is your zodiac sign?
Me: I have no idea.
(My thought: seriously?! wtf? why would i know that)
(The bouncer pauses yet again)
Bouncer: I'm having a really hard time believing you weigh 225 lbs.
Me: I don't. I've lost weight since that picture was taken.

He eventually handed me my ID back and stamped my wrist. Then we put our names in and went to the bar next door to get a drink. The bouncer there too closely inspected my card, but instead of being a *bleep*, just said "you've lost some weight haven't you" and let me in. At least the tacos were delicious.

Yeah, I've heard people tell me that if bouncers doubt that your ID is real they'll ask your zodiac sign - and like you, I have no idea what mine is (but I bet it's the same!).

At least they're doing their job.
