  That's only at work.

  An occasional member of the Thursday morning tri-parish coffee group is
 a retired shrink, originally from NYC and has that accent that I like. 
(I always joke Southerners don't have an accent, its everyone else who
talks funny).
  Anyway, one day we were the only two to show up so spent a lot of time
talking.  I felt like I was on the couch.  We would be "tawking" about
something and he would ask "And how did that make you feel?" and the like.  
   He told about a clip on You Tube from a Saturday Nite Live show (back
when it was actually funny) a lot of his friends like with Bob Newhart
when he played a psychologist on tv, called "Stop it". 
  A woman complains about some problem and he keeps telling her "stop
it".  Whatever she complained about he just kept telling her to stop
whatever it was she was having problems with.
   Just search Bob Newhart+stop it.

  I've never had one.
  The only times I traveled abroad was at government expense.  And in my
sailor suit I didn't need no stinkin' passport.  
   The only time otherwise as being on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls
and at the time no passport was needed.

  Mine says the same.

or a Federal Registration Number (FRN).

  At one time my SS card said "Not for ID purposes" or the like.  I lost
the original years ago and had to get a dupe and that is now gone.  Seems
SSN is wanted for everything now.
  When I file my taxes on line I am asked for that and auto-magically
everything on my W2 pops up.
  But my Medicare card does have it, only with a -A extension.

  I was asked that one time and I joked, No, not convicted.
