The DMV

"The DMV"*

*A man spent several hours enduring long lines,
surly clerks, and insane regulations at the Department
of Motor Vehicles. On his way home, he stopped to
pick up a gift for his son. He selected a baseball bat.

"Cash or charge," the clerk asked.

"Cash!" the man snapped, then apologizing for his
rudeness, he explained, "I've just spent the entire
 afternoon at the Motor Vehicle Bureau."

"I understand," the clerk replied, and then asked,
"Shall I gift wrap the bat, or ... are you going back to the DMV?"

"Fine For Parking"*

*A young woman was doing some business at
Marshall University and parked in an area clearly
marked "No parking."

After taking care of business, she returned to her
car to find a campus security guard writing her a ticket.

"Why are you giving me a ticket?" she asked.

"You're not allowed to park here," the guard said.
"See that sign? It says 'Fine for Parking Here.'"

"Well," said the violator, "I thought it was a fine place to park."

The guard began to laugh. The more he thought about
it, the harder he laughed. He tore up the ticket and
waved the woman on her way.
