The Dreyfus Affair Part Two?

This interesting Op-Ed from the NY Times reminded me of a good friend of mine who once had a fake ID with the name Alfred Dreyfus. I wish I was joking. He did have a rather "successful" three month run using the alias of the infamous victim of late 19th century French anti-semitism. That is, until he attempted to buy a six-pack of Blue Moon from a liquor store run by a scholar of post-revolution France. Oh well, it was nice while it lasted.

The ID lasted one year and 3 months, not 3 months. And I was not trying to buy a six pack of blue moon when it was taken, i was trying to buy a minikeg of heineken, on sale ofcourse. Which dreyfuss was more heroic, i'll leave that up to you.
