Canoe sex / American beers

I arrived at UCSD on monday... Everything fell in place, work is going fine, workout after hours.
Just a small anecdote though :

Yesterday I went to the mall, buy some groceries, for breakfast, my daily salad, etc etc.
Indeed, I was going to buy a 6-pack of american beer.


(Not this one, but Samuel Adams, which is better...). There I come, at the counter. Indeed, the cashier asks for my ID. I show him my French ID.
- Oh, sorry, we dont take this...
- Really? - OK, here s my driving license...
- Still not valid...
- I am not supposed to walk around all the time with my passport, am I?
- I am afraid that would not be sufficient : we do not accept foreign ids. Any.
- So... how does that work, I cant have a beer with my friends?
- You're supposed to ask for a temporary id.
- for three weeks?
- I am afraid so...
- damn...............
*beers stayed there...
Now I have to ask my recently turned 21 flatmate to buy beer for me... What a beautiful country. I am just hoping that they will let me in a bar tonight!

cheers.

Go and buy a gun instead, they won't check your age at the store.

Do you want me to bring one back for you too?

C'est vrai que t'as vraiment l'air trop jeune en général... Tu as essayé de te laisser pousser la moustache ?

sont un peu barrés quand même...
