Mother’s Maiden Name

So here I am, filling out a web application for an investment program, and one of the questions is “Mother’s Maiden Name.” This comes to mind because we were discussing Suri Cruise sometime during the day and why there aren’t any pictures of her yet. Is it because Suri is “deformed” in some way? Does Suri have a darker complextion than Tom? Does Suri look more like Chris Klein than Tom? Questions we’ll all have to wait for the answers.

Anyway, the question is “Mother’s Maiden Name.” How long will it be before someone find’s Suri’s SSN in the trash can and calls the bank. “For verification, what is your Mother’s Maiden Name?” I can see it now, once that happens. It may not be Suri, but some other Hollywood Elite’s child. He or she got ripped off because some dumbass put some important piece of information where some other dumbass found it, and called some dumbass the bank to make a large withdrawal, but some law will be pushed through the California legislature requiring that “Mother’s Maiden Name” be replaced with a different question. Banks and other financial institutions will spend thousands of dollars sending out official notices to the consumer, driving up costs at the banks and dropping our savings interest rates even further. Or, maybe even an additional monthly $3.65 “State Legislature notification” fee.
