There was only one problem...they scheduled it for MEMPHIS and NOT for LITTLE ROCK.
and as "compensation", they'll install 2 new wiper blades for no charge.
I bought a new car. But, it takes 8 to 10 weeks for the State Of Arkansas
I have to wonder if there's only 1 person doing the work for 75 counties.
So, I have to go back to the dealership before March 11, to get a new temporary tag. With my luck, I'd get pulled over and ticketed for driving on expired temporary tags...I see these all the time.
We had four Enterprise places here, down to three now since that one place is still closed and may not re-open, since it was the smaller of
the four.

Whoopee do.
No one in government moves any faster than they absolutely have to.
But I saw cars with months old expired plates all the time when in parking. Cops around here seldom stop anyone for that. It was more a secondary offence.
There might be one out at Little Rock National Airport
They're giving the wipers to me, as it'd normally cost nearly $20 each,
And while the populace screams "throw the bums out", they still vote the same idiots back in.
It makes as much sense as tits on a boar hog
It'd be my luck that they'd get me. If they need money for their ticket quota, they'll do it.
I've not been to the airport here in years, no need to.
When last there around '03, I guess, there were several car rental places that had no in/near town offices.
The last time I brought wipers they were like $5. Of course that was over 30 years ago.
You have some big car, like a Hummer, with dinky little wipers on it. But little death trap has huge industrial strength wipers.
One definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over
hoping for a different result.

How boar phobic! Or something like that. :)
Everyone who went before the five person panel before me was found guilty. If you got a citation it was because you were guilty in first place.
Ah, small town politics, ya gotta love it.
at Orlando International Airport, and get patted down as well. She was
making all these orgiastic noises during it.
Everything was cheaper back then. The cheapest I remember seeing gasoline was in south Florida in the late 1960's...at 24.9 cents a gallon.
toward the end, Jeannie blinked and the "injured guy in the
wheelchair" rolled ahead, and when he stood up, all the bandages fell off. His lawyers said to the judge "Your Honor, I swear I had no idea on this!!",

Sounds like something I would do. :)

Cheapest I remember was a "U-Pump-it" station in Colorado in 1968, it was 25 cents as well.
They had two (maybe four) pumps where you used 25 and 50 cent tokens
you got from an attendant in a booth.
If you used less than you paid for you either ate that amount or sold
it to another motorist in line, if there was one.
When I re-visited a couple of years ago there was still a gas station there, only larger.

A few hours later he gets a phone call, pulls the brace out of a desk drawer and puts it back on.
When asked why he said his lawyer was appealing.

What brand was it??
Next to a liquor store in midtown Little Rock is the
old Sinclair gas station sign. I think that place was a Sinclair gas station (with the dinosaur) years ago.
Another man was asked if he had trouble lying, and he replied "No, I lie quite well, thank you". <G>
There are other places re-purposed around town.
Are you bothered by impure thoughts my son, a priest asked a
teen-aged boy in his congregation. Oh no, Father, the boy replied, I rather enjoy them.
1) P: What must we do to obtain forgiveness of sin??
C: First, we have to sin.
2) P: Do you ask the blessing before you eat??
C: We don't have to...our Mom is such a good cook!!
3) P: Does anyone know what a resurrection is??
C: If you have one for more than 4 hours, you have call an ambulance!!

That's pretty good. But it fails the knowledge test. Apparently
we are all BORN into sin. And.. no seemingly innocent child is
devoid of sin very early in their life.
2) P: Do you ask the blessing before you eat??
C: We don't have to...our Mom is such a good cook!!
Ha... pretty good too. But isn't the conventional term "grace"?

starts the blessing to The Good Lord with "Well, Sir...here we are
again"...
In another movie, the blessing was short and sweet..."Much Obliged".

IIRC that was a Ma and Pa Kettle film. Pa Kettle was known not to
talk a lot.
There's the joke (attributed to many different people over the years) where the host was having a dinner party and a guest was asked to say
the blessing.
He bowed his head and nothing was heard by the others.
The host asked the guest to speak up, no one could hear him.
He replied, "I wasn't talking to you".
