Signing a (useless) statement
OK, it's almost the 4th of July.
Here in Ohio, it is illegal for individuals to set off fireworks.
People from here ordinarily go to neighboring Indiana to buy fireworks.
Fireworks can be purchased in Ohio but you have to sign a statement that you will not set them off. Now, do you really believe the person handing you that statement for your signature really thinks you won't shoot off any fireworks? Do you think the person signing it really intends to refrain from shooting off those fireworks? No, it's a little formality, a little game, a little joke, to meet a legal requirement to have a signed piece of paper.
Sound like another piece of paper called "The Affirmation Statement"?
(that's one of the more charitable things it has been called)
