Why on earth would you specify such things?
Sort of like when the Gas Company asked me what my Social Security Number
is, I put down some number I just made up, same with the Library, etc.
Get a photocopy of your friends Passport from some country, paste a picture
to it, print up a name (yours), and photocopy it, if they want ID, fax it to
them. No questions asked... when you go over there, use your US Passport,
and tell them you are a Dual Citizen.
Works. You know what Billy Joel used to say? "Only the good die young"
Why follow rules. Cheat a little. You're human, not a robot, Jim.
Rules are not for following... they are for adapting to your ultimate
purpose, whatever it is.
