| Story on NPR this morning that employers can verify that an employee's SSN is real by making a "simple" phone call.I was wondering why this service wouldn't be provided through the web. |

| You sure that wasn't Fox news? They were probably telling you this as part of a left-wing conspiracy to subvert the minds of innocent women and children to accept this, even though the SSN is actually the mark of the beast and someday will be tattooed onto all of our foreheads.HAAA, I caught you, didn't I????MeanOldDBAderrickleggett@hotmail.comWhen life gives you a lemon, fire the DBA. |
