   For half a buck a government employee will come to my house and pick up a piece of paper that will be in the possession of anyone in the US that I specify no more than 2 days later. I am not quibbling over a few minutes in line.

   I suppose fruit flies wouldn’t fair to well, either. But I certainly wouldn’t be wasting valuable time in lines if I only lived 3 days!

    Not as bad as the local drivers’ license bureau

    Went in Monday and picked #72 when they were on 45

    Half an hour later when they were on 49 I decided to try earlier in the day next time

    Going back today, they open at 8, I’ll be there at 7:59
