  • Opens car, but could barely open the door without causing severe damage to the car next to it.
  • Gets check book.
  • RP is now incoherent because of possible heat stroke.
  • RP hops into truck and drives to courthouse.
  • RP pays fee after lining up for 13 minutes 48 seconds.

  • Lines up for 13 minutes and 7 seconds (Wow, I know).
  • RP receives documents.
  • RP replaces expired registration sticker simultaneously reciting expletives that would make Richard Pryor (RIP) proud.
