Right now, the only person not laughing at this cartoon, is someone who has never had the experience of taking a trip to their local DMV office.
If that person is you and you're thinking that all this time you have missed out on a trip that you've GOT to go on, here are a few alternative 'visits' you might consider if you care to keep your blood pressure from skyrocketing!!!!
- book a root canal..... as soon as possible, maybe today!
- travel your busiest interstate at 5:15pm with 1/8th of a tank of gas and a full bladder!
- call your online banking helpline and 'visit' another country thru 20 prompts and 40 min. and still wind up where you started!
- wait in line for an hour to be told 'we JUST sold the last one'
The above are just a few of the much easier things for your to do list........trust me.....I know!
Oh yes, we arrived 15 min. early to avoid the rush. Okay......good start! We go up to the counter all smiley and say 'hello, how are you today?' She says.........'yer not from here are ya'?
Oh no, I quickly reply, we're from New York!!!! My sister Linda warned me about saying that and yet it seemed like the right thing to do.........it was NOT!!
This girl proceeded to simply try to trip us up on every piece of paper and signed and notorized document that we were required to have for this process.
Oh, but, little did she realize that I had my MVB Expert with me.........a.k.a. Mr.Barista himself.
Try as she may, we had it all! Every last completed form! Whew!
So I got up my nerve to ask her as she was just about to go to the stacks of license plates behind her ............
Could you possible give us a plate that has some
catchy number or letter sequence or something like that.... PLEASE?
ABOLUTELY NO!!! was the exact response.......................................
and she was about as friendly as my Mr. Post.
See that first in flight inscribed on the plate? Well,
visions of Jackie Gleason blurting out his famous Pow! right to the Moon Alice! came flashing before my eyes!!
Well, unbeknownst to little Miss Grumpy...... she handed over a plate (not the one depicted here)
with three letters and then the first four numbers of my Barista's drivers license !!!
Who could ask for anything more??? (hmm..that'd be a good song now, wouldn't it)
We giggled to ourselves all the way home........oh, and of course thanked God for his hand in even the little things of our lives! He is AMAZING!
Psalm 118:6.....the Lord is on my side

Don't you wonder sometimes if having a terrible personality and being grouchy is a prerequisite to getting a job there?
Do you think human resources sometimes interviews really nice and friendly folks and then stamps a huge "REJECT" on their application before throwing it away?
