Re: Texas Capitol - State Trooper Contact

I scurried down the DPS office to get my DL so I could register to vote, establish residence etc. I had an old DL from Indiana that used an even older picture on it, but my hair had already matured considerably in the mean time. The gal at the counter filled in my form for me, I guess directly to the computer, and she asked me my hair color:

I said "Distinguished."

She didn't even crack a smile, just flicked an eye at me and typed in "Gray."

Those license branch people have no sense of compassion or humor at all.
Ha. My grandfather once proudly told the lady working the counter at DPS that he was "five foot eleven and a half." She didn't look up but muttered "we don't use half inches" and carried on processing his license. He later looked at the license and, sure enough, she just rounded up. Height: 5 FT 12 IN.
