Ed Miliband walks into a bank to cash a cheque. “Good morning”, says Ed,
“could you please cash this cheque for me?”
Cashier: “It would be my pleasure Sir, but could you please show me some
identification?”
Miliband: “Truthfully… I did not bring my ID with me as I didn’t think
there was any need to. But hang on! I’m Ed Miliband, Leader of the
Opposition and of the Labour Party!!!”
Cashier: “Yes Sir, I know who you are, but with all the regulations and
monitoring of the banks because of impostors and forgers etc, I must insist
on seeing some identification”.
Miliband: “Just ask any of the customers here at the bank who I am and
they will tell you. Everybody knows who I am!”
Cashier: “I’m sorry Sir, but these are the bank rules and I must follow
them”.
Miliband: “I am urging you please, to cash this cheque for me”.
Cashier: “Look Sir, this is what we can do. One day Colin Montgomery came
into the bank without any ID. To prove he was Colin Montgomery he pulled
out his putter and putted a ball along the floor and into a small cup.
With that sort of skill we knew it was Colin Montgomery and we cashed his
cheque. On another occasion, Andy Murray came in without any ID. He
pulled out his tennis racquet and lobbed a tennis ball straight into my
teacup with such a spectacular shot that we all knew it was Andy Murray.
Ed Miliband stood there thinking and thinking and then finally says, “To
be honest, there is nothing that comes to my mind. I can’t think of a
single thing that I’m any good at.”
Cashier: “Will it be large or small notes you require Mr Miliband?"
“could you please cash this cheque for me?”
