Erik ten Hag walks into a bank to cash a cheque. As he approaches the cashier he says, "Good morning, could you please cash this cheque for me?"
Cashier:"It would be my pleasure. Could you please show me your ID?"
Ten Hag:"Truthfully, I did not bring my ID with me as I didn't think there was any need to. I am Erik ten Hag, Manager of Manchester United”.
Cashier: "Yes, I know who you are, but with all the regulations and monitoring of the banks because of impostors and forgers and requirements of the legislation, etc., I must insist on seeing ID."
Ten Hag: "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 Hag but these are the bank rules and I must follow them."
Ten Hag: "Please, I am urging you, please cash this cheque."
Cashier: "Look sir, here is an example of what we can do. One day, Tiger Woods came into the bank without ID. To prove he was Tiger Woods he pulled out his putter and made a beautiful shot across the bank into a cup. With that shot we knew him to be Tiger Woods and cashed his cheque."
"Another time, Andre Agassi came in without ID. He pulled out his tennis racket and made a fabulous shot where the tennis ball landed in my cup. With that shot we cashed his cheque. So, sir, what can you do to prove that it is you and only you?"
Erik stands there thinking and thinking and finally says, "Honestly, my mind is a total blank...there is nothing that comes to my mind. I can't think of a single thing. I have absolutely no idea what to do. I don't have a clue."
Cashier: "Will that be large or small notes , Mr Ten Hag?”
HOW THIS DOG SAVED MAN UTD FROM BANKRUPTCY IN 1901.
On the night of 2nd March 1901, a dog called 'The Major' went missing in Manchester, and the dog belonged to Newton Heath [now Man Utd] full-back and captain Harry Stafford.
The dog was found by a wealthy businessman, John Henry Davies, who was eager to buy it for his daughter. Davies tracked down the owner of the dog, Stafford, and made an offer which was rejected.
However, Newton Heath was at severe risk of bankruptcy, so Stafford eventually gave in and the dog became Davies's dog, just in time for his daughter's 12th birthday.
As a result, Davies became interested in Newton Heath's financial plight and together with four other investors, including Stafford, he rescued the club from bankruptcy and became its new chairman.
That club today, is Manchester United Football Club. ❤️

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.
ALL ROAD USERS.
And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s safer to NOT have them.

The technology we know as Bluetooth derives its name from Harald Bluetooth, a Viking king who passed away over a millennium ago. Just as he united factions of Denmark and Norway, Bluetooth technology unifies various electronic devices. The Bluetooth logo cleverly incorporates his initials, represented by the runic symbols for Hagall (*) and Bjarkan (B).
The origins of Harald Bluetooth's nickname remain a subject of debate. Some sources suggest that his fondness for blueberries resulted in permanently blue-stained teeth. Others speculate that he had a dark blue/grey-colored tooth, possibly due to decay.
One full @SFBART train moves 1500 people. If those riders drove instead, the line of cars would be 6 miles long.
And think about how much parking they would need.
Mobility in cities is about space.
