Recently while riding my trike I had the occasion to provide my driver’s license to someone who asked to see it. Over the course of some small talk about posted signs, numbers, MPH, and other complicated subject matter that I will not bother to bore you with, this fine young man unexpectantly broke out in laughter. Ruling out the fact that I did not have on my “I did not get run over by a train tee shirt”, or my “I am only in it for the free parking shirt” I was at a loss as to what would make this fellow laugh, so, I asked him.
He said that while reviewing all my information, he was struck by the fact that I was listed as 6’2” in the height section. I, with the straightest of faces replied, “but it’s true.” Well, we exchanged a few pleasantries and he handed back my licenses and suggested that slow down just a bit. I assured him that I had every intention of working on a solution for the foot brake, and off he went.
Knowing how many here who have met me, consider me a shy, somewhat bashful, reserved, honest type guy, I felt it important that I clearly demonstrate that what is reported on my license is in fact true and here is the proof. Just like pictures add 20 lbs., I just look shorter in my photo. When you meet me, you will find this tall, thin, distinguished, and handsome man, who will gladly put a handshake on ya.
