I have declared my marital status so many times that I am tempted to adopt a few kids just to make that question on dependents more interesting. And please, don't ask me for my Social Security number; I'm sure you can retrieve it from one of the hundreds of forms out there that have it neatly typed in the upper right-hand corner...
