Terrymac Loc: LONDON U.K.

Nick Clegg walked into a branch of HSBC to cash a cheque. As he
approached the cashier he said "Good morning, could you please cash
this cheque for me"?

Cashier: "It would be my pleasure Sir. Could you please show me your ID?"

Clegg: "Well I didn’t bring my ID with me as I didn't think there was
any need to. I am Nick Clegg, the Deputy Prime Minister of the U.K.!!!"

Cashier: "I’m sorry, but with all the regulations, monitoring, of the
banks because of impostors and forgers, etc. I must insist on proof of
identity."

Clegg: "Just ask anyone here at the bank who I am and they will tell
you. Everybody knows who I am."

Cashier: "I am sorry Deputy Prime Minister but these are the bank rules
and I must follow them."

Clegg: "I need this cheque cashed."

Cashier: "Perhaps there’s another way: One day Colin Montgomery came
into the bank without ID.

To prove he was Colin Montgomery he pulled out his putting iron and
made a beautiful shot across the bank into a cup.

With that shot we knew him to be Colin Montgomery and cashed his cheque.

Another time, Andy Murray came in without ID. He pulled out his tennis
racquet and made a fabulous shot where the tennis ball landed in my
cup. With that spectacular shot we cashed his cheque..

So sir, what can you do to prove that you, and only you, are the Deputy
Prime Minister?"

Clegg stood there thinking and finally said: "Honestly, I can't think
of a single thing I'm good at."

Cashier: "Will that be large or small notes, Deputy Prime Minister?"
