Redneck Driver's Application

While going through some of my old papers and effects from my days back in West Virginia, I came across some interesting stuff. I found my tassel from the mortar board I wore when I graduated from high school. Really, I really did. I swear. In that old Cheerios box, I also found my diploma.

I smiled when I found my very first little black book. As I leafed through it, there was only five pages with names and numbers on them. Under the letter B there was Brother - Rick and his number.
Over on the letter D there was Dad and his number. On M I found two listings: me and my number and Mom and her number. Finally over at the letter S was Sister - Brenda, and Sister Diana and both of their numbers.

As you can see, even then I was showing a propensity for writing. Note the attention to detail and structure. (Never mind that we all lived in the same house and had the same number.)

Then I found a copy of my old Application for my first driver's license. It sure brought back some memories. For all you people out there that like to make jokes about us hillbillies, check out the application we had to fill in. I'll bet you'll think twice now before making jokes about our learning abilities. Shoot, the application was harder than the drivers test itself. That's right, the hardest thing on a teenage hillbilly is a test. I had to study for one of those urinalysis tests, but I passed!

Here it is. Check it out.
