I make it my business to give every site for which I have to create an account to give them different information. It's privacy by hiding my tree in a forest. Only financial institutions get the real thing because - well - it's the law.
Anyway, for a date of birth I often have used 1-2-3-4 (easy to remember) as Jan 2 1934. But I've a better idea - and one you can all join in on:
1-1-2-3-5-8 - the easy-to-remember beginnings of the Fibonacci series. For us Yanks, it's easy as we have that (awesome) date order: Nov 23 1958. You others (Europe, Asia, &etc.) can still use the values - still easy to remember.
WHY? As I see it, wouldn't it be just great if a huge bubble of people appear to have been born on the same date throughout the world. Think of the impact on all of the marketing! As the amazing BD accumulates, so does the poop-value of their data.
Come on! Spread the Word! Join the Fun!

In order to help, I'll be the first to name the 23rd month as "Jenkinsuary"™. Trouble is, there are only 10 days in Jenkinsuary so it still doesn't work! 
Ah, I see you have the machine that goes ping. This is my favorite. You see we lease it back from the company we sold it to and that way it comes under the monthly current budget and not the capital account.

Bring it before the EU Governing Bodies; they'll create a committee, and, with a bit of luck they'll come up with some solution to your difficulties.

a) Stranger things have happened (e.g. children under 8 cannot blow up balloons in the EU without adult supervision)..
b) It'll take at least 40 years of meetings, diplomatic disputes and (of course) bribes.

Or - the usual option: impose a huge fine on some US company.

The EU is always desperate for cash..
At least 52% of us here in GB are glad to be leaving (although whether we'll be allowed to leave peacefully is another question)

And that's why a lot of people go to Syria for Jihad - Everyone can blow up whatever they want once you got across the border.

With or without adult supervision? I think that's the critical part

Once you've completed the tutorial you're free to go, I guess. Unless you're american, in this case you'll loose your head.

Here in Germany you will be often asked for your ZIP code at the cash point of super markets.
A comedian and song writer was - like many others - so annoyed that he decided to always name the ZIP code 25541 belonging to the small north German town Brunsbüttel (he lives in Bavaria about 800 km away).
Many people are using this ZIP meanwhile too so that the marketing departments should rate people from Brunsbüttel for liking traveling and shopping often

Good idea - Here in the Untied Snakes, that is the zip code for Milton, West Virginia - Wikipedia ... They could use the boost too.

More often than not, if I'm about to make a purchase from a store that's going to ask me my phone number, I look up the store's own number before going through the checkout.

A similar trick, keep all the business cards people give you - even if they are annoying prats.
When accosted by an insurance salesman, jehovas witness or some other pushy twerp trying to peddle some sh*t pretend to be interested, tell them you're too busy and hand them one of those business cards from the above stack of prats - ask them to call you later. Also handy when security guards/rent-a-cops trying to be in-charge want ID, say you lost/left it behind, offer them one of 'your' cards - "that's me, sorry, gotta get moving, meeting the big boss.".
Tip: Check the name before handing it over - if it says say 'Peter' say, "here's my card, just call me Pete" - that extra 'friendliness' makes it more credible.
If you get too many cards, look for those 'drop your card here' jars to off load a few, i.e. Amex, AT&T, Gay Pride, Nuke the Whales ....

I think I now know what to do with the 498 (out of 500) business cards one of my previous employers had made for me (despite me telling him I don't need them as a non-travelling developer type).

A few minutes ago Mickeysoft wanted to make sure that they had my current phone number, just in case they wanted to talk to me about something. I gave them the number of the not entirely cheap 'Hot Mature Ladies Live' hotline.
Have a heart and let the marketing drones have some fun too.

I walked into the bathroom while Kathy was in the shower, and asked her if she wanted me to wash her back.
A simple yes or no would have been enough, but she had to go and ruin the mood by screaming and yelling, "Who are you and how did you get in my house?!"

It's not a 'no', so by means of elimination, only 'yes' remains.
