'Hey! Is this the authorized certificate of your identity? '
The officer-in-charge questioned me at the entrance of the office called 'Labor Ready' in a city of U.S.A
'Where are the relevant documents and your Social Security Number? '
I showed him my faded Passport.
Then he said, 'Leave that aside and the number is mandatory.'
'If you are interested of a number then I could have give you my date of birth and you must realize that I am a World citizen.' I replied angrily.
I am not sure that he called me son of a bitch or something else.
I gave him my valuable yellow book the international certificate of vaccination.
He reads loudly; 'Vaccination against Rabies, Distemper, Hepatitis (CVH) , Leptospirosis, Parvovirosis, Kennel Cough, Feline Infectious Enteritis (Panleucopenia) and Respiratory Viral Diseases.'
He laughed sarcastically and showed the doggy smile of his Bloodhound teeth.
'Are you senile? ' he scolded me.
I said 'It's my deceased son's [my pet dog Marco] pedigree and I can assure you as a guarantee for a job.I want to survive my honoured Sir!
