cheque for me?"
Cashier:"It would be my pleasure sir. Could you please show me your ID?"
Trudeau :"Truthfully, I did not bring my ID with me as I didn't think there was any need to. I am Justin Trudeau , the leader of the LiberalParty of Canada !!!!"
Cashier:"Yes sir, I know who you are, but with all the regulations and monitoring of the banks because of impostors and forgers and requirements of the CIDC
legislation, etc.I must insist on seeing ID."
Trudeau : Just ask anyone here at the bank who I am and they will tell you. Everybody knows who I am."

Cashier: "I am sorry, Mr. Trudeau , but these are the bank rules and I must follow them."
Trudeau :" Mon dieu. I am urging you, please, to cash this cheque."

With that shot we knew him to be Tiger Woods and cashed his cheque.
Another time, Andre Agassi came in without ID. He pulled out his tennis racket and made a fabulous shot whereas the tennis ball landed in my cup.
With that shot we cashed his cheque.
So, Mr. Trudeau , what can you do to prove that it is you, and only you ?
Trudeau: Trudeau stands there thinking, and thinking, and finally says, "Honestly, my mind is a total blank...there is nothing that comes to my

Thanks Ralph ..... I checked the story out on the Conservatives fact site, Kijiji, and the story was originally written for George W. Bush.
