After spending 3 1/3 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 back there?"
