If it wasn’t bad enough that the TSA wants to touch your junk, now Uncle Sam wants to know what it looks like (Hot Air via Shy Guy)
Who was present when you were born? Can you remember every address you’ve ever had? How about every place you’ve ever worked? Were you circumcised?

According to BoingBoing, the form is meant for those who, while applying for a passport, can’t produce a birth certificate. “But as the FA suggests,” the site notes, “the circumstances in which people unable to provide a birth certificate will be given this form (rather than the traditional bureaucratic investigation) are not spelled out; further, the form itself remains a Kafkaesque impossibility for most people to complete.”
Perhaps Barack Obama was more afraid of this form than of Donald Trump.
