First thing he thought he ought to do (being an insurance man) was go down to the county court house and get his NY driver's license re-issued as a Wyoming license. When he got to the court house, he found only two lines, and three windows. A window that was boarded up had a sign "Drivers Licenses"; two others were unmarked. There was a long line associated with each of the other two windows. One of the lines consisted of a several elderly ladies, each with a vicious dog straining at the end of a long leash; spacing was suitable to to prevent canine conflicts. The other line consisted of several ranchers, each with a sheep on a short rope. The insurance agent, after contemplating the situation, decides to get in line with the ranchers. After a short interval, various of the ranchers begin to eye him suspiciously. Finally, one says "'ey Buddy, wheas y'r sheep?" The agent says, "well, I just wanted to get a Wyoming driver's license, and I thought this was the line, with that other one being boarded up like it is"... The rancher replies, "Well, y'd best know 'at 'd boarded up window wuz fer socia'secur'ty 'n welfare 'till Reagan took office. But we don' 'ave mucha dh'at no more, so dey cloz it up 'n mov'd the Driver's lis'nzes over'tda udda wun." 'Dis 'ere lian's fer 'vacsy nashuns 'n mar'iage lis'nzes. Looks like y'all belawng ovr 'dere wid da ladeez 'n the dawgs...
