Bureaucrats can think ahead about 3 seconds. [i worked for one for 35 years, but was far enough away from the center of the bureauacry that I could ignore it for the first par]t. I misplaced my drivers licence, to get a replacement, I needed a birth cert snf SS card, to get the SS card, I needed a birth cert and drivers licence!!!!!!!!!?????????
So, I went to a now closed Dep. Registrar, and told my tale of woe, the clerk said, the hell with the reg, and issued me a replacement,[ later that day I found mu old licence, can anyone say Murphy's Law].
