Driving legally in Tejas

So Today, I finally bit the bullet and went downtown to get my driver's license renewed. It expired on my birthday, July 1.
The last two times I have visited thecity hall drivers' license center, I got in and out in 10 minutes. Today, it was more like two hours.
The guy in front of me had a camel back, a Gilligan hat and dreads that reeked.
The two chicks behind me were either strippers or SMU Co-eds. One was wearing a feed cap that said God Bless VIP Lounge. They made her take the hat off for the picture. I hope she was a stripper. Because she looked ridden hard and put up wet -- at a young age.
There was a multitude of folks from Louisiana trying to get a Texas DL for the first time. Each time the patient woman would tell them that they needed an original or certified copy of their birth certificate. One man almost broke down in tears. That situation sucks.
The two women to my right looked like Pharmaceutical Reps. Dresssed to the nines, mountainous heels. But the really interesting part was that one had hair like Dolly Parton. I really thought that kind of hair was "over."
The reception in Dallas City Hall does suck but I finally managed to download some new and entertaining ring tones.
The crowd was amused when my phone played "you shook me all night long."
Finally got to the counter and the woman was really nice. But I paid for the right to drive and then snap, I was shot against the blue backdrop. All of that... and she says.
"Here is your temporary copy. Your permanent card will arrive in the mail in 6-8 weeks. Or it could be 2."
I started laughing so hard I almost pee'd on the floor.
Gotta love city government at work.
