Believe it or not, in 1976 Pharaoh Ramses II was issued an Egyptian passport for passage to France nearly three millennia after his death. Quoted from Ripley's Believe it or Not. Wikipedia says the same, but the quote is so long and annotated it's impossible.
Surely no

76, or 74? Did they lie to us?

ReplyDeleteTom I no longer ever know who to believe.
I always admit to fibs. Honest.
DeleteWell, at least you didn't try to pass off the smell of damp as being from cigarettes and dog. :) (See: all estate agents ever)
DeleteI’m a believer. Nothing in this mad world surprises me anymore.
ReplyDeleteThat's the spirit. I mean, who would have believed you if you predicted Trump's rise to ignominy? Actually, I did just that, smug bastard that I am.
DeleteYou are always right.
DeleteNo, I always said I was right. Get it right.
DeleteWow. That is nuts.
ReplyDeleteLooks a bit like the face on my driving licence, but a more open smile!
ReplyDeleteThat made me laugh. A friend of mine posed as Victor Meldrew for his bus pass.
DeleteHe was allowed to skip the Security Scan at the Airport - they made no bones about that.
ReplyDeleteOh... The gold coffin set off the metal detector.
DeleteHe didn't have the guts to complain when they said he had to have a Passport
ReplyDeleteThe jars which contained his guts were confiscated. They were over 100ml.
