    Didn't know Jesus was a boater!

     



    I had to pass this one along. You can't make this stuff up.

    My Son Don just bought a boat from a local Spanish church, it had been donated to the church by a member and they were selling it. The name of the church is Jesus Es Amore (Jesus is love). Don took the title to the DMV to get the title transferred, and this is sort of how the conversation went:

    Don: Hi, I'd like to transfer this title into my name.

    Lady at DMV: Well, the title is signed by the wrong person.

    Don: What do you mean?

    Lady: Well it's signed by Pastor Carlos, but the title is in the name of Jesus Es Amore.

    Don: No. The church is named Jesus Es Amore, and Carlos is the Pastor.

    Lady: Well, I need to see Jesus here to sign this title.

    Don: (Trying to keep a straight face) I don't think he will be coming.

    Lady: Well, if I can't verify that he owns this boat I can't transfer the title.

    Don: (starting to crack up now) You don't understand, Jesus Es Amore is the name of the church and Carlos is the Pastor and authorized to sign.

    Lady: I'm sorry Sir, but I really need to have Jesus come in and sign this title in front of me.


    He was finally able to convince her to pull up the articles of incorporation showing that Pastor Carlos was authorized to sign for Jesus, so he got the title transferred. Like I said, you can't make this stuff up!

    Well, St Peter was a fisherman, so maybe Jesus got the boat from him? That's a riot Don. Can't really beat the DMV clerk up for trying to follow the rules!

    Of course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong!

    that's really sad, poor girl obviously about as sharp as a marble. and to think, with high unemployment there is probably a SMART person out there in need of a job. I think smart people should always get hired first, then we won't have to deal with this crap.

    of course then we won't get funny stories as often either.

    The earliest symbol for Jesus was a fish, after all.

    Maybe, but the lady was definitely an Atheist. That or just stupid. In any case it's time to move to the next available agent.

    She must have trained in Albany, NY - which has to be the worlds worst DMV office - then moved to the sunnier climes of Florida.

    That is one of those stories he will be able to tell forever!
    Makes you want to go out and find some outragious title and see if more DMV employees will take the bait! Something like the holy virgin.....

    Hey Guys ; I’ve got a good DMV story for you.
    I had been driving for a trucking company for years when this happened too me.
    It took place in Lake Whales, Florida when they switched from the old license
    to the new CDL’s.
    I got a call from the DMV saying that they couldn’t find any records of me ever taking a driver test for the CDL, I told them that’s because I was grandfathered
    in under the old license. They said that it didn’t matter that I would have to come down and take a driving test for the CDL. So I went down to take the test.
    Well I did some maneuvers around the parking lot for them, then the young lady that was giving me the test, said now we have to take a road test.
    She climbs up in the passenger seat and starts giving me directions on to busy roads. She then instructs me to drive in to this residential neighborhood, now keep in mind I am driving a semi with a 60 inch sleeper and a 53foot trailer attached.
    Now this was a narrow street we were on and if another car was coming
    one of us would have to put our right side tires in the grass to keep from hitting the other. Anyway she Instructs me to stop, then says to do a 3 point turn around without touching the grass on either side of the road. HUH!!! I looked at her like she was out of her mind, and said calmly, mam I don’t think I can do that.
    She then instructed me to do the best I can, I said OK!.
    I got turn half the way around and she instructed me to stop again.
    Now at this time the truck is about one foot away from the house in front of me
    and about two feet from the house behind me. She climbs down out of the truck
    walks out a little ways turns and looks back at the truck, then puts her hands on her hips and starts walking back to the truck. After climbing back in to the cab she says, she didn’t think the truck was that long. Now I am thinking LONG the dang thing
    was almost too wide to be on that street. I then said mam, do you mind if I ask you a question, she said no go ahead. I asked if she had ever given the CDL test before, she said no I was her first. HE! HE! HE!
    I know one thing, there was some pissed off people when they got home,
    because I tore the crap out of some poor folks front yards.
    Like Itoldyouso said, you can’t make this crap up. Kurt

    Don---Fabulous story!!! I believe that the lady that your son spoke with has been cloned. Every DMV office in North America has a clone of this good old girl looking after the registration of old vehicles (and boats).----Brian
