During the UN operationin Somalia you could get a Somali licence with anything at all on it for 10$.

Lots of us got them as "bar Jokes"

Mine is endorsed DC-3, SR-71, Spitfire, Mustang, Concord, Apollo Space Craft, lunar landers ( bet you didn't think there was a dual endorsement required if you planned to land vs just circumavigate the moon ) and Enterprise Class Starships all marks among others.

I don't think I would jump into a SR71 and launch on the basis that I have it written on a paper with an official stamp.

Some wags also got Somali diplomatic passports - one jokester actualy tried to use it when returning home expecting giggles all round - Officials failed to see the humour of the thing and gave him an exceedingly bad time.
