True. But funny, isn't it: I always enjoy looking at the most
puzzled facial expression of some twenty-odd year old selling
beer at a football game trying to understand my german passport.
They give up eventually, selling me what I wanted...   :-)

(asking me for an ID is absolutely ludicrous in the first place
since I've been looking older than 21 for decades now...)

Cheers,

	Stefan.
