THE UK Passport Service is banning smiling on future passport pictures.
They insist it is for security reasons, but a quick glance at most people's passports reveal that a large number of us apparently already look like members of Black September.
Fortunately, most pictures look nothing like the person who owns the passport. Those grim glares for the camera do, however, have a role to play.
Just show yours to anyone who knows you and howls of laughter are guaranteed to follow.
