When you buy alcohol or cigarettes at Wal-Mart, the register prompts the cashier to check ID with the following: "Is customer 27?", even though the legal age for alcohol is 21 and for tobacco it's 18. If the customer looks 27 or under, we have to ID them. Why 27 and not, say, 25? Maybe the Wally World CEOs are secretly WAY fans!

That's better than the Pick N' Save grocery stores here in Wisconsin. They card everybody. It doesn't matter if you are obviously a senior, they'll ask for your ID; which, if you ask me, is one of the most inane things in the history of the world.
I just had to reset the password on one of my accounts and the temporary password the site sent me started with "27"! Of course, I had to change it to something else immediately so please don't think I'm so stupid that I'm giving out any part of an actual password! I haven't completely lost my mind--yet!

Disclaimer: before you read this, I want to make it clear that I am in NO way a follower of Big Brother. This is a fluke coincidence.
I can't remember whether or not you guys have this TRAVESTY in the USA. It's a "reality" TV show where they stick a bunch of idiots in a house and film them 24/7.
The other day I turned on the telly and Big Brother was on. The narrator told me that it was 5:27pm in the big brother house. This in itself was not unusual BUT... the room under surveillance at that moment was entirely empty APART FROM a butternut squash.
And seeing as I have had a bit of a squash obsession for a while, I saw it as a sign. And revisited the forum. To post this. So ha.
