Following a discussion on the Efrat chat list about the best way for an American-Israeli (with an expired Maryland driver’s license) to drive in the United States, someone posted this anecdote:
A friend of mine was driving through the Texas panhandle when he was pulled over by a policeman. When my friend presented his international [driver’s] license, the policeman said that he had never seen one before, so my friend showed him that the list of foreign countries that accepted the license included the USA.
The policeman responded: “This ain’t no foreign country.”

Well, subtlety and nuance are obviously not part of the training.
LOL funny!!! and sad at the same time.
That’s hysterical! And says so much about the American mind-set!
