I had a driver’s license photo where I was caught at the beginning of a sneeze. The DMV lady wanted a redo, but I insisted it be kept – kinda of a Calvin photo, with one eye squinted and the mouth pinched at the corners. Saved me from a minor traffic ticket one time: the cop was so trying not to laugh and failing miserably., letting me off with a warning. Unfortunately, I moved to another state and had to get a brand-new ‘normal’ photo done. I miss that picture.

The helmet on the ground suggests that Joan was getting a motocycle licence. And, the way some people, especially women, dress nowadays, this photo could be of a real person!

It’s true what they say: if you look like your driver’s licence/passport photo, you’re not well enough to leave the house.
