There is a certain poetic glimmer in reading the phrase “documents of magnificent verbosity that accomplish precisely nothing” in a document of magnificent verbosity that accomplishes precisely nothing.

But the joke here is about Americans, right? (If not, what is the joke that you’re trying to make!?)

Well, so far that’s never actually happened so I don’t know, but I guess that if it ever were to happen I’d have to pull up my shirt and show my belly button as proof.

I was born in a country where birth certificates don’t exist so I’ve never had one and life’s been just fine without it.
