Yow. I just realized I claimed something that wasn’t true. Some forty years ago, I was travelling around and took a temporary job on the other side of the country. When I went to cash my paycheck, the bank it was issued on wouldn’t cash it unless I let them take a fingerprint. I pointed out that it would do them no good because my fingerprints were nowhere on file. The clerk said they’d taken them when I got my driver’s license. I had my mouth open to say ‘Not in New York State they don’t!’ when I realized that was probably only going to result in their refusing to cash the check. So somewhere in California, forty years ago, a bank had one of my fingerprints. I have no idea whether they’ve still got it, or whether that bank still exists (I don’t remember its name.) Apologies for the hijack and for the error. – hmm. try again. True and true. I have milked a goat (if badly) and you have not. I have never had a Facebook account, and you have. ---
