[Healeys] Bureacracy

[Robert Larson]

You think that's bad!!!    I don't know what if any the final resolution 
was but at one time the NJ DMV
was not accepting any birth certificates from hospitals in Jersey City, 
Hudson County, NJ, US of A!!!

My sister got caught up in that one.   A custom made one from Tijuana 
was of more value.....

Strange but true, a Ripley's event.   I think a US Passport only allows 
you to use the New Jersey
Turnpike and George Washington Bridge.  For those who think Jay Leno is 
joking when he talks
about NJ there is better than a 50/50 chance that it is a true story and 
not a joke.
