"Excuse me," says the customer, "I'm here to deposit a large sum of money."
"Certainly," replies the officer, "but could I please see your passport first?"
The customer hesitates. "My passport? But why?"
"Well, sir," explains the officer, "we need to verify your identity to prevent money laundering."
"Money laundering?" the customer scoffs. "I'm a Nobel Prize winner in chemistry! I'm not going to launder any money!"
The officer smiles. "Sorry, sir, but it's our policy."
