BMV

I was sitting at the BMV today, waiting for my drivers license renewal and this lady comes in and asks the clerk to "have a title done". The clerk says that the BMV does not do titles, but that they would be happy to send out the paperwork to a title agency. The lady, stares at the clerk for a moment and asks, a little louder, to "have a title done". The clerk, again, informs the lady that the BMV does not "do titles". The lady stood there a while longer, as if the BMV would miraculously begin to "do titles". "You don't do titles?" "No Ma'am, we don't." This was followed by nearly three minutes of silent staring. Arrrgghh! I could see my newly printed license on the counter.

At this point, I said a prayer of thanksgiving to God that this was happening in Salem and not in a town in the southeast suburbs of Columbus. If it were, the lady might have got it with a sock full of nickels by a friend of mine who has little tolerance for this type of thing. :)
