What is DMV ?


[/ QUOTE ]

Priceless. In the U.S., it is hell on earth and a perfect example of Government inefficiency. It is the Department of Motor Vehicles, where we have to go to get our drivers licenses and pay our annual vehicle taxes. The taxes aren’t bad, it’s the waiting lines that are insane. God help you if you have a simple question, like, “how do I get a license to drive a boat?” In which case, you have to wait in one short line to ask the question, then another line, a few hours, to take a test, then another line, an hour or so, to get your picture taken, then another, several hour line, to pay your fees.

When Bradley said you could place your gumball machine free at the DMV, he was joking. Government bureaucrats would go insane at the notion of something as normal as a gumball machine on their property. If you were lucky, you would be presented, after waiting five or six hours, with a mountain of paperwork, and four different locations to visit, before eventually being told that you aren’t on the government approved list of contractors. It would be hilarious to stroll nonchalantly into a DMV and simply install your chewing gum machine.
