It Was Just "One Of Those Days"

I renewed my driver's license yesterday and I carefully made a list as to what I needed to bring for the renewal. I went early so that I could get through the process as soon as possible. When I arrived, there were no lines and the first question I was asked was, "Did you bring your birth certificate?" Crap!

So off I went, fuming, driving back to my house in total disbelief that I had forgotten my birth certificate. As I got back into the car to go back to the DMV, I realized there was no reason to be angry over something that I couldn't change.

When I arrived for the second time, there still were no long lines. I presented the required documents, took the eye exam and had my picture taken. When the clerk told me the charges and fees, I handed her my Visa card. She said, "Sorry, we don't take Visa." What? Yep, any other card but Visa. Crap!

Since I did have enough cash, I had to drive back to my bank, get the cash and return to the DMV. When I returned to the DMV for the third time, there was a line, but the lady must have felt sorry for me and she allowed me to go to the front of the line, pay and get the hell out.... or so I thought. Nope! They got the address wrong on my license. Crap! Crap! Crap!

When I finally got out of there, I drove straight home and stayed in the house for the rest of the day.... until happy hour!

A man walking along a California beach was deep in prayer. Suddenly the sky clouded above his head and in a booming voice the Lord said, "Because you have tried to be faithful to me in all ways, I will grant you one wish." The man said, "Lord, can you build a bridge to Hawaii so I can drive over anytime I want."

The Lord said, "Your request is very materialistic. Think of the enormous bottom of the Pacific! The concrete and steel it would take! It will nearly exhaust several natural resources. I can do it, but it is hard for me to justify your desire for worldly things. Take a little more time and think of something that would honor and glorify me."

The man thought about it for a long time. Finally he said, "Lord, I wish that I could understand my wife. I want to know how she feels inside, what she's thinking when she gives me the silent treatment, why she cries, what she means when she says "nothing's wrong." The Lord though for a moment and then replied, "You want two lanes or four lanes on that bridge to Hawaii?"

A typical macho man married a fine young lady and after the wedding, he laid down the following rules, saying, "I'll be home when I want, if I want and at what time I want-and I don't expect any hassle from you. I expect a great dinner to be on the table unless I tell you that I won't be home for dinner."

He continued, "I'll go hunting, fishing, boozing and card-playing when I want with my old buddies and don't you give me a hard time about it. Those are my rules. Any comments?"

His new bride said, "No, that's fine with me. Just understand that there will be sex here at eleven o'clock every night....whether you're here or not."

One day in the Garden of Eden, Eve calls out to God. "Lord, I have a problem!" The Lord answered, "What's the problem, Eve?" Eve said, "Lord, I know you've created me and have provided this beautiful garden and all of these wonderful animals, and that hilarious comedic snake, but I'm just not happy."

The Lord said, "Why is that, Eve?" Eve said, "Lord, I am lonely. And I'm sick to death of apples." The Lord said, "Well, Eve, I have a solution. I shall create a man for you." Eve said, "What's a 'man', Lord?" The Lord said, "This man will be a flawed creature, with aggressive tendencies, an enormous ego and an inability to empathise or listen to you properly. All in all, he'll give you a hard time."

The Lord went on, "But, he'll be bigger, faster and more muscular than you. He'll also need your advice to think properly. He'll be really good at fighting and kicking a ball about, hunting fleet-footed ruminants, and not altogether bad in the sack." Eve said, "Sounds great." The Lord said, "Well you can have him on one condition." Eve said, "What's that, Lord?" The Lord said, "You'll have to let him believe that I made him first."
