In Typical Fashion

So the other day I glanced down at the license plate on my truck, and saw that the registration expired back in January...

"Son of a bitch" I thought, and rifled through the mountains of junk mail on my kitchen table that I occasionally shred....no dice, no notice, no nothing...Did I already pay it?

Nothing in my checkbook to indicate I had.

So like a good little boy I voluntarily drove to the DMV to see what happened.

When I bought my truck from the dealership on 1/13/06, they registered it for me, and whomever was working at the DMV wrote down that date as the expiration date for the plates, so basically, I've been driving illegally on expired plates since that day. Amazing. I don't know how

A.) My insurance company never noticed

B.) How I never managed to get pulled over

c.) The tax collector never noticed. I probably owe back taxes fo' sho'

The kicker is, I had to get a temporary registration because the emissions expired on my vehicle because I never got the notice to renew, so I have to get my emmisions tested within the next week.

Fiascos are my speci-ality.
