Another installment of
Oh Snop!
(life's little annoyances)
....or whatever the heading for this category is :)
For those of you who are relatively new to FME, "Snop" is the official bad
word of this publication. This section is devoted to complaining about
life's little annoyances, and I (eener) have a gripe about something,
sooo...hey! Wait! Where are you going? Ok...I'll complain
nicely....NOT! ;)
This is a complaint about what a pain in the rear it is to get a license
here in Georgia, where I recently moved. I lost my license in Wisconsin
before I moved and couldn't find it! If I would have known what a royal
pain getting one here would be after losing my WI license...I sure
would've gotten a replacement before I left. Ahh...but hindsight is
always 20/20. To begin with, I have to take my driving and written tests
again. I'm not TOO worried about that part of it...all except the
parallel parking part. I *hate* parallel parking, and I certainly don't
think I'm the *only* one ;) The worst part of it all, is that I need
"proof of residence" before I can get a driver's license here. I don't
have ANY of the things on the list that you can use for proof of
residence. You can use several things, such as a bank statement with your
address on it...but it has to be a LOCAL bank (which of course it doesn't
specify on the list :P). And in order to get an account here, you need a
job here....geez! Of course, I am set now, because I just got a job at
Delta Airlines here...and they can write a letter stating that my address
is such and such. Woo woo!! But a warning to all....get a replacement
license BEFORE you move....and avoid the hassle!!! Of course...you still
might need proof of residence..but you probably won't need to take the
test again! Ok...I'll shuddup now...I can see you advancing towards me
holding that duct tape. Nooo! Don't duct tape my fingers!! I won't be
able to type! Ack! Ack! Ack!!! aosdiugp;osai;odifu;asdodifu;asf.....

to be his sidekick....
Taxi Driver: Al...I now dub you my new sidekick..."Sir Laffsalot"
*whonks Al on either side of his head with a large foam noodle*
Al: Ouch!
Taxi Driver: I expect you to be faithful to the cause of Batman, which is
to get as many babes as you can to fall in love with you!
Al: Uh...I think I can go along with that!
Taxi Driver: Good, I'm glad you like the idea...because the pay sucks.
Back at the theater, Howard is having a phone conversation with the blonde
receptionist...
Howard: Wanna go out Saturday night?
Receptionist: Um...where do you wanna go? *dabs white-out on the phone
receiver* Oooops, sorry, I didn't mean to say that. What I meant to say
was "Sure! I'll go out with you....is your last name Gfot?"
Howard: *with his hand over the phone mouthpiece* Hey guys! She asked
me if my last name was Gfot...what should I say? And what's a gfot???
Join us next week...when you may or may not find out what a gfot is...

**Do you have one of those questions that keeps you up at night,
wondering? Ask the Wise Sage! Email eener@juno.com with your question
Wise Sage,
Do you get your name from the sage brush that grows in the wild or are you
a decendent of the family Sage (Pronounced saw-gee, greek for "Let his
cereal sit too long")?
M. Parsons
Dear M. Parsons,
Actually, I am named after a strange variety of eggplant from Tasmania
called the SageEggplant.
