Getting a driver's license in the USA: an exercise in futility posted by Brunnen-G on Sunday, June 1, 2003, at 13:20:52:
> You guys don't need a Department of Homeland Security. All you need to do is put the Department of Motor Vehicles in charge of your defense system. At the very least, it would have meant 9/11 didn't happen for another twelve to fifteen years while the terrorists waited in lines to find out how to get a pilot's license in this country. >
Terrorist : Hi, I need, um, a license to commit an act of terrorism.
Clerk, chewing gum : Do you have form C-124, DF-23B and G39? And a valid background check?
T: Um... I'll be right back.
*Two hours of frantic form-getting and filling follow*
T: Hi, I'm back. Can I have a terrorism license, please?
C*Chews, pause, hands form G39 back* Invalid request number, right there.
T: Oh, I'll just correct it -
C: NEXT! Go back to the end of the queue!
*An hour later*
T: Here's my G39 again.
C: You need a picture to go with your C-124. Stamped by the photographer.
T: And you didn't tell me before /because/?
C: NEXT!
T: I'll be back in twenty minutes.
C: It's 10 to 4. We close at four.
*The Next Day*
T: Hi. Here's the picture.
C:*Blows bubble* You didn't put your father's name there.
T: He's unknown.
C: I have to check. *Checks in the binder for the protocol* Just put in "Unknown".
T: That's what I did!
C: *Checks form* Unknown isn't a valid name.
T: But you just said... Nevermind. Can I just not write it?
C: Oh. Sure. Just fill this form, please.
T: Aaaaarg! Don't you just feel like machine gunning everyone in this office?
C: For savage machine gunning, please go to line four, ask for form M-394 and DT-23...
