security equipment removal authorization signatures turn tables sign form birth certificate

Official transcript

Dilbert walks by the security desk with a computer part under his arm. The guard says, "Stop."

The guard says, "Show me your "equipment removal authorization form."

Dilbert shows him a piece of paper. The guard says, "This requires the signature of TWO employees."

Dilbert hands the guard a pen and says, "Good catch. You'd better sign it so it's legal."

The guard says, "This seems wrong... but I don't know why why."

Dilbert says, "And I'll need to see your birth certificate"

The guard says, "I don't have one."

Dilbert says, "Then how do you know you were born?"

The guard thinks, "I have baby pictures, but they could have been doctored by my alleged mom."
