A retired gentleman walks into his local social security office in which to apply for Social Security.

After waiting in line for a couple of hours he finally reaches the counter. The woman behind the counter looks him up and down a little unsure. “You will need to show me your driving licence so you can prove your age”, she says. 

Frantically he searches his pockets. “I’m sorry, I think I have left it at home. What can I do?”

The woman rolls her eyes as though she has heard this all before. “Okay, unbutton your shirt.”

Bemused the man does as he is asked and unbuttons his shirt revealing thousands of thick, curly silver hairs.

“Okay,” the woman sighs, ” The silver hair is enough proof for me” and at that she processes his social security application.

The man returns home, full of excitement as he stands before his wife and tells her what happened at the social security office.

The wife rolls her eyes. “Well she should have asked you to drop your pants!” the wife grunts.

Confused the man replies, “Why?”

The wife offers a sarcastic smile. “If she had seen what you got down there you might have been able to get disability benefit too!”
