The Most Depressing Place on Earth

It has GOT to be the Harrison County DMV. Seriously. You are just about guaranteed to see a morbidly obese, greasy-haired, partially toothless Mississippian clad in a too small pastel sweat suit that reveals all the butt cheek dimples you never ever wanted to see. One sign read: "No test will be started after 4:00 P.M. No acceptions!!!" This was just one of several misspellings. The employees behind the desk practically have a permanent eye-rolling thing going on. Oh, and if you are a new reader and missed the picture I posted way back when of the "building" that houses the DMV, it is actually a converted mobile home surrounded by a high chain-link fence complete with barbed wire at the top. But, if you do remember the picture, you'll be happy to know that the government did find room in the budget to purchase a legitimate, universal blue handicapped sign for the parking space instead of the handwritten cardboard one.

I must give an AMEN to that! I just left there today and it was so crammed with people you could smell the other persons breath next to you. Fun Fun Fun.

oh, Honey, I'm sure it's just another set-back from Katrina! They just haven't had time to re-build that office back yet. AND, you just described about 1/2 the female population of Mississippi! That's why I refuse to wear sweat-pants in public.

Sweat pants......hmmmmmm not only in Mississippi. They are very popular among the obese in IL also. More jiggle, wiggle room, I think.
