Only in Australia 🇦🇺🙄🥴

Malcolm Turnbull walks into a bank to cash a check. As he approaches the cashier he says, “Good morning, please cash this check for me?” 

Cashier: “It would be my pleasure sir. Could you please show me your ID?” 

Turnbull: “Truthfully, I did not bring my ID with me as I didn’t think there was any need to. I am Malcolm Turnbull, I was the Prime Minister of Australia!!!!” 

Cashier: “Yes sir, I know who you are, but with all the regulations and monitoring of the banks because of impostors and forgers and requirements of the banking legislation, etc., I must insist on seeing ID.” 

Turnbull: “Just ask anyone here at the bank who I am and they will tell you. Everybody knows who I am.” 

Cashier: “I am sorry, Mr. Turnbull, but these are the bank rules and I must follow them.” 

Turnbull: “My goodness. I am demanding that you cash this cheque.” 

Cashier: “Look Mr. Turnbull, here is an example of what we can do. One day, Greg Norman came into the bank without ID. To prove he was Greg Norman, he pulled out his putter and made a beautiful shot across the bank into a cup. With that shot we knew him to be Greg Norman and cashed his check.   Another time, Pat Rafter came in without ID. He pulled out his tennis racket and made a fabulous shot. The tennis ball landed in my cup. With that shot we cashed his check. So, Mr. Turnbull, what can you do to prove that it is you, and only you?” Turnbull stands there thinking, and thinking, and finally says, “Honestly, my mind is a total blank, I have absolutely no idea what to do, I don’t have a clue.”

Cashier: “Will that be large or small bills, Mr. Turnbull?
