After spending 4 hours enduring the long lines, surly clerks, and insane regulations at the department of motor vehicles, I stopped at a toy store to pick up a gift for my son. I brought my selection, a baseball bat, to the cash register. " Cash or charge?" the clerk asked.
"Cash," I snapped. Then apologizing for my rudeness, I explained. " I've spent the afternoon at the motor vehicle bureau."
" Shall I gift wrap the bat?" the clerk asked sweetly. "Or are you going straight back there?".
