Then I found a suitable map online, and I drew over all the lines, deleted the interstates, and re-colored everything to mask my copyright infringement.Clarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03159116843329750731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-618057296837905436.post-34549332948168337692011-07-17T11:24:51.058-06:002011-07-17T11:24:51.058-06:00Did you hand draw that map of the US?

He did a job in Hunstville, Alabama. After finishing, he got a paycheck, which he wanted to deposit. There was a Wal-Mart nearby that had a check depositing service. You can see where I'm going with this.<br /><br />He needed an ID to complete his transaction, so he gave her his New Mexico driver's license. She responded with "Oh, we can't accept Mexican IDs."<br />"No, it's *New* Mexico. It's a state."<br />"I know that sir, but I'm not allowed to take IDs from Mexico."<br />"This is not an ID from Mexico! It's from NEW Mexico, the STATE. It borders Arizona and Texas!"<br />The clerk becomes agitated, pulling out her manual. "Sir, I'm sorry, but I cannot accept a Mexican ID. See?" She points to the manual, which has a picture of a Mexican ID, which of course looks nothing like the New Mexico driver's license.<br />My friend rages. "They don't even look the same! This is a driver's license for NEW Mexico. New! NEW! Not Mexico, NEW MEXICO!"<br /><br />A moment of silence.<br /><br />"Sir, I'm sorry, but I can't accept an ID form Mexico."<br /><br />He stares at her for a moment. "You are the stupidest person I have ever met." Takes back his check, and leaves.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11802458554764037176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-618057296837905436.post-31975813026022259642011-07-12T07:45:50.702-06:002011-07-12T07:45:50.702-06:00So, you're telling me that Texas is in there B...So, you're telling me that Texas is in there BETWEEN Mexico & New Arizonico?
