I could have done 10 years in prison (or so my father told me) ...

Well, ok - now that's its been almost 20 years and the statute of limitations is over --
I made a huge fortune making fake IDs for underage students while at university.

The IDs were from "New Jersey" and my partner and I figured out on a real ID. 1 mm is enlarged to .8 inches on our 3x5 foot ID board.
Being a graphic design major - it was relatively easy to construct.

Our "Clients" would come in, stand in front of the board, with its removable/replaceable addresses/DOB and other info - and we would snap a polaroid. - Then take his airbrush with gold paint. Using a template, gave it a light gold dusting to simulate the holographic logo appearing over the ID. At $50.00 each - it was a bargain and withing a few weeks we had appointments with all the fraternities/sororities on campus. Must have made 100's of them ... Eventually we got paranoid as another ID maker got busted by campus police (a moron, we were off campus) -
so I sent all my material to my sister up in NYC at university there - so she could hold it while the pressure went down a little ---
Of course, being the nice little sister -- she went and told our parents.... HUGE family confrontation -- I was pulled from my campus housing and forced to live back at home for a year.

But I did make tons of money that of course I blew on booze and women. My record was $1300.00 in one day.

Don't try it kids - crime doesn't pay and your parents WILL find out.
