When I tried to buy gasoline a couple of years ago, the pump computer
asked my billing zip code. That would screen most people with stolen or

it meant the zip code where I received my bills or the one where I sent my
payments. I guessed the latter and was rejected. I went in to the clerk,
explained the problem, and offered ID. No, the computer's rejection was
final.

Why would it be where you sent your payments? Why would you even know that
zip code? You're very odd.
