What if everyone changed their name to John Smith or Jane Smith?

I just had a thought. What if we had a National Name Change day, and all men changed their name to John Smith, and all women changed their name to Jane Smith?

That would really mess up some gov databases, wouldn't it?

No. Because the name you are logged in their database as is more like 123-45-6798.

Better would be Juan Garcia so you could grab some of that fine government loot for the Hispanic surnamed.

Great idea -- then there would be a bazillion white hispanics running around. That would really confuse'm!!

Find out where Elmer Fudd had his Birth Certificate made and order one for yourself.

And to the NSA trolls, FU.

You served in the military so you’re well aware of having everything in triplicate.

I think Chris Smith would be better. Could be male or female.

Actually they injected the same code into everyone.

We are all unique genetically, thanks in part to our parasites. In terms of DNA we are out numbered in our own skin by our parasites.

That is a good thing. Our DNA couldn’t mutate fast enough to develop immunity to quickly evolving diseases. With some of the immunity job outsourced to our parasites, the successful parasites can be traded to other humans to protect them.

We even get good parasites from our pets, who do helpful things like sniff other pets, pick up their parasites, filter them with their own immune system, and pass on the very best ones to us.

Unless you’re Obama. Then you just pick up another person’s SSN from Connecticut. No sweat.

My doctor told me that, if there is a smallpox epidemic, that I’ll probably the only person that it will not affect.

And to all the NSA trolls, FU.
