Everybody in the state should wear headgear when renewing their license.

A politician’s headgear is his sphincter, if this guy is any representative of the species.

Flash forward to the squad room where a victim is viewing a photo line up ... “Yes, that’s her! She’s the one that did it. Numbers 1,3,4,6,and 8.”
