Real life can be stranger than fiction

I'm not sure which of these stories is funniest:

The 87 year old man who was asked for ID when trying to buy a bottle of sherry

or

The 15 year old boy asked to pay child support for what they believed to be his 12-year-old son!!

Yeah, for some reason some places card you no matter what age you are (or look for that matter)!

15 year old...12 year old...how?

I used to work in a supermarket, and they wanted us to ask for ID if we were at all uncertain. It can be pretty hard to judge ages sometimes, so I remember asking a few people who were about 10 years past the legal limit... but 87?? That's just hilarious!

And the thing with the 15 year old is hilarious too! I love strange news stories like that! :D
