i'm driving into work this morning, singing "i got 99 problems". i open the glove box to change cds and i notice my car insurance renewal notice sitting there. oh shit! i was supposed to renew 2 days ago! so right away i start looking for the Autoplan insurance sign so i can pull over and renew it, and its one of those things where you can never find one when you need one. kinda like when you need a payphone or need to throw something out, but can't find a garbage can. anyways, i finally spot the sign at a strip mall and pull up in front of the insurance place. i hand the renewal notice to the insurance lady and she says "oh, you're 2 days late, i hope you didn't drive here" and i say "oh no! of course not." here i strategically put my hands up as if i'm mock-horrified and backing away. "i was just staying at my girlfriends place a few blocks away and walked here". i like lying to people i'll never see again. besides, what does she know? so the whole transaction continues and i pay and she gives me my new papers and stickers for my license plate. i walk to the back of my car and put on the new stickers. i look up and the insurance lady is staring right at me through the window. i smile and wave at her, get in my car and drive away.
