Things don't change, do they ... :-)

35 years ago, a colleague told me stories of his time in Texas. I believe America had plastic licences even then ...

Anyways, the police stopped him and asked for his licence, so he handed them a piece of green paper.

"What's this!?"
"A driving licence."
"How do I know it's a driving licence?"
"It says so. On the front. In big black letters."

Cheers,
Wol

That of course assumes they can read whatever language the words are written in. I might point here at the tale of the most nefarious driving offender in Ireland, a protean master of disguise whose appearance was never the same twice, a Mr. Prawo Jazdy: <http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/northern_ireland/7899171.stm>.

(Lest anyone think this is a joke about the Irish, it was of course an English (Welsh border) council which managed the impressive trick of putting up dual-language Welsh road signs where the Welsh "translation" was the Welsh for "I am out of the office at the moment but will be back on Monday." You'd think they could have at least spotted that the day of the week was in the translation but not the original and that something *must* be wrong, but nooo...)
