Here's registration yarn which,
though late, still has its laugh:
Louis Yyyno was born in sunny
Italy. When he registered he was re-
quired to fill out an information slip
giving name and other personal facts.
He was a bright boy and made no
mistakes until he came to the line
marked "born," followed by a blank
space. In this Louis wrote down very
neatly the one word, "Yes."
