"Those were the good old days"

I'm sure everybody would have heard these words before. Yes indeed those were the good old days without passwords. Passwords have become a way of life now...thanks to the internet guys

Let's compare the 1940's to the 2000's in terms of password importance.

1940 - You can have sex with the most beautiful woman by just saying your name

Nickie: Hi i'm Nickie Ferrante (offers hand)
Pretty Blonde: Oooh let's have sex in my bedroom, Nickie (grabs and kisses the hand profusely)

2000 - We find that there is a catch to sex

Nickie: Hi i'm Nickie Ferrante (offers hand)
Pretty Blonde: (smirks) Go over to that counter, register by paying 100 bucks and come back to me with a password.

See how times have changed. We have to provide passwords for almost everything now a days.
Let's see where passwords are required -

We can't read our mail without a password
We can't access bank accounts without a password
You need to use different sets of passwords to reach your desk from the main gate of your office.
the list goes on....

Even my girl asks for a password while i coax her for sex. This password has to be doubled up with a 6 digit security code, and the funny thing is that the password is alpha numeric with special characters and changes everyday. The security code changes every 15 minutes. She says its necessary for her to be compliant with the international asset protection and regulation act of 32A.
