I wish I could remember my high school friend Beth's story about fending off a potential home invader with a turkey fork. It was a classic of weird stories. What is it about forks that makes fork-stories inherently bizarre? Is it just the word "fork" and how odd and innuendo-ish it sounds?
And why would NJ not put your photo on your license? Other than NJ being odd in general?
Forks are tined. I think that's the secret, really.
It's because it's not required by NJ state law. So they just send you the form and if you mail it back they send you a non-pic one. If you want a photo one, you have to go down to the registry or whatever in person. But see, I thought it was my car registration and just paid it, but then I got my car registration form a few days later and looked at them both more closely. But the license doesn't have to be renewed as often, so it's almost understandable how I could make this mistake, sort of. D'oh!
Oops! New Jersey's weird. Not that I haven't always thought this, but still. :-)
DC is having Issues with its new parking and registration stickers. They decided to combine the resident parking sticker with the car registration sticker, and the new sticker goes in the windshield. The DC cops, even though they were informed of the change months ago, have been stopping people for expired registration stickers (the old stickers went on the license plate, so a car with a new sticker in the window might have old stickers on its plates).
And that's not to mention the issues they're having because of the new DMV computer system. I'm glad Virginia hasn't had any of that silliness.
