Does anyone remember "January is Alien Registration MOnth"
They used to run these ads reminding aliens to register at the post office in January. Does anyone else remember them?

2. Yes!
My grandmother was an "ill-legal" from Canada ... the ad campaign prompted me to ask what aliens were ... which was followed by an explanation and the info "granny" was ill-legal

3. I used to think they were referring to aliens from Outer Space.
I always regretted the fact that we lived two hours from the nearest Post Office and I could never see the aliens.

7. Oh, yeah ... and, don't forget, "Mork" thought that they were talking
about space aliens ... they did cover that in an episode ... he thought he had to register ...
