I was signing the receipt for my credit card purchase when the clerk noticed that I had never signed my name on the back of the credit card. She informed me that she could not complete the transaction unless the card was signed. When I asked why, she explained that it was necessary to compare the signature on the credit card with the signature I just signed on the receipt. So I signed the credit card in front of her. She carefully compared that signature to the one I signed on the receipt. As luck would have it, they matched.

Two high school sweethearts who went out together for four years in high school
both were virgins; they enjoyed losing their virginity to each other in 10th
grade. When they graduated, they wanted both to go to the same college, but,
the girl was accepted to a college on the East Coast, and the guy went to a
college on the West Coast. They agreed to be faithful to each other and to spend
anytime they could together.
As time went on, the guy would call the girl and she would never be home, and
when he wrote, she would take weeks to return the letters. Even when he e-mailed
her, she took days to return his messages . Finally, she confessed to him that
she wanted to date around. He didn't take this very well and increased his calls,
letters, and e-mails trying to win back her love.
She soon became very annoyed with his persistence and now with a new boyfriend,
she wanted to get him off her back. So, what she did is this: she took a Polaroid
picture of her sucking her new boyfriend's dick and sent it to her old boyfriend
with a note reading, "I found a new boyfriend, leave me alone." Well, needless
to say, this guy was heartbroken, but, even more, so, he was pissed. So, what
he did next was awesome. He wrote on the back of the photo the following, "Dear
Mom and Dad, having a great time at college, please send more money! I'm getting
pretty desperate!" and mailed the picture to her parents.
