The Bertillion System, in a way, led to the adoption of fingerprints as a way to identify people.

Bertillion's system worked well, but was extremely complicated, and the measuments had to be precise. Many departments lacked training in the system, or just became lazy, so the subject's measuments tended to drift a bit, making the identifications unreliable.

It was this perceived failure that led to the adoption of fingerprints instead (although many departments used both methods for quite some time).

Jock #1: [holds up a beer] You want a brewdog?
Womynist #1: Were not interested in your penis!
Womynist #2: Wait, wait, I think hes offering us a beer. [turns to
jock, speaks slowly] Um... Yes. We, would like, a beer.
Jock #1: Okay! [turns around to get a beer]
Womynist #1: So its like, if youre nice to them, they *bring* you

Womynist #2: Exactly.

Yep, they do it around me too. Last time I shipped some textbooks by Media Mail, the employees were grilling me on the contents and telling me that my package WILL be opened. It got pretty ridiculous, because they kept repeating it over and over like I was lying to them.
