The $12 Dilemma
R. Alex Whitlock
RAW: I need a copy of my drivers license. My wallet disappeared over the weekend.
DMV Lady: Sure thing. Will you be paying in cash or with a credit card?
RAW: Oh, crap. I have to go to the bank. I'll be right back.

[Five minutes later]

RAW: I would like to withdraw $100.
Teller: What is your account number?
RAW: xxxx-xx-xxxx
Teller: Okay, can I see some picture ID?
RAW: Well no. I'm here because I just got back from the DMV. They need $12 before they'll give me a duplicate of my drivers license. My wallet disappeared over the weekend. I need a new card and $100 of spending money to hold me over until the new card gets here.
Teller: Okay, but can I see some picture ID?
RAW: No.
Teller: Do you have an ATM card you can show me?
RAW: No.
Teller: Then I'm sorry, sir, I can't let you withdraw $100.
RAW: How about $12? Can you let me withdraw $12?
Teller: Not unless you have a photo ID...

[One discussion with the manager and interrogation later]

DMV Lady: Could I get you to go over there for the picture?
RAW: Don't you already have a picture on file?
DMV Lady: We have to get an updated picture, though.
RAW: But all I want is a copy of the old license. I actually have a good picture in that one. Right now my hair is all windblown and wet.
DMV Lady: But while you're here, we need to get an updated license.
RAW: But it's only been a year. I look almost exactly the same.
DMV Lady: Not completely the same. Your hair's different.

Comment spam is an ongoing problems that we're trying to address. Previously we required people to create accounts and log in. I am thankful to say that is no longer the case. We're giving Captcha another try and are playing around with a text-based Q&A variant of Captcha. So bear with us as we try to figure out how to best get a handle ont he problem. Please note that any comment on a post more than 30 days old will go into the moderation queue, where I will get to it when I can which could be once a week.
