I think SB is way overdue for a thread to post strange and amusing news stories.

Renewing your driver's license can be a pain in the butt these days, but the task has caused quite a problem for Ashlee Lineberger of Englewood.



Lineberger recently mailed in her $48 renewal fee for a new license and when she got her new state-issued ID back in the mail, she noticed that she had a new street address.

The license said she lived on "Eat Ass" in Englewood, Fla., reports NBC News in Miami.

Florida Department of Motor Vehicles has no idea how it happened.

Lineberger's husband, Charles, said after getting the runaround on the phone with the state DMV, the couple went to the local DMV office.

What they got was laughter -- and a quote for another fee if they wanted the license fixed.

State officials contacted Lineberger on Wednesday to apologize for the error and told her a new license - free of charge - would be in the mail.

But the Linebergers are not without a sense of humor. Ashlee said she plans on keeping the "Eat Ass" license. even after she gets the replacement license.

"Imagine if I got pulled over by a cop and had to show this ID? I probably wouldn't be getting out of that ticket," she said. "That's priceless," reports NBC News in Miami.

In April, the town of Olathe, Kan., became the second city in two years to settle lawsuits filed by citizens who were arrested for flashing their middle fingers at police officers, thus appearing to acknowledge that flipping the bird contemptuously at a cop is expressive conduct protected by the First Amendment. (Philadelphia paid out $50,000; Olathe, one-sixteenth the size, paid out $5,000.) [KSHB-TV (Kansas City), 4-16-10]
