Maybe the clerk was a retard...she had so much trouble with my name it made me want to puke. Plus she was acting really amused. "Gloukhoff" is NOT that long, "Oh dear...oh it's so hard..oh how do you say that..oh my..oppsie I typed it wrong AGAIN...here we go...almost there". It's not funny. It's idiotic and insensitive.

Got my marriage license in Atlanta, GA. No bible here either, in the bible belt no less. This makes me wonder how much other shit FNF is pulling out of his ass.

I'm not making the shit up.

This is the place I went to:

Delaware County
Media, PA
610.891.4400

They sure as hell made me give them $50 and put my hand on the bible. Call them up and ask them if you don't believe me.

warch · 12-11-2003, 01:39 PM

Hennepin County, MN- bibleless.

Nascar = traffic. I dont like traffic.

Bob Sagget? I can not imagine any scenario, blue or otherwise, in which he would exhibit any comedic talents. His fame has always baffled me.

Gha was I really the only one?

If so I'll write an offended letter. I just thought it was common practice and didn't want to make a fuss out of it especialy since the clerk was already making it look like I was torturing her with my name. Sigh...

I understand this. Oh, do I ever. My maiden name was a 3 syllable 13 letter german name that nobody could pronounce.

I stopped excusing people for screwing it up. It is really offensive when they make a big deal of it.

This makes sense. Since it's your right NOT to be offended. Come on man, thickin you skin.

DNK. Get some damn sense.

It's OK for me to be offended by you. It's ok for me to be offended by the idiots who support Bush. It's OK for me to be offended by the idiotic slogans that I see every day as I drive past a church to work. That's all fine. I can ignore all that.

It's NOT ok for me to be offended when I'm trying to do something that I NEED to do to get on with my life and is controlled by the government.

Dealing with the goverment that I pay taxes to support should NOT be offensive to me.

blue · 12-11-2003, 01:54 PM

Yep, no bible here either, although they did give me a bag full of crap....laundry soap, gift certificates, bunch a stuff I guess my wife thought was useful.

Funny thing is, about 3 years later I went to work there (not register of deeds office...county government tho), union, government workers...absolutely the laziest most arrogant bunch of "workers" I have ever been associated with. I have never seen a such a ridiculous waste of money on a daily basis....and don't get me started about the dept. of human services!

Dig up the infamous <a href="http://www.humorlinks.com/cgi-bin/amazon/amazon_products_feed.cgi?item_id=B00000DLU4&search_type=image&locale=us">9th Annual Young Comedians</a> HBO special, where Saget steals the show with rapid-fire patter. (The show also features Sam Kinison, Bob Nelson, Rita Rudner, Louie Anderson, Yakov Smirnoff, and Maurice LaMarche (voice of "The Brain" from Animaniacs).

The year before's is almost as good -- Dana Carvey, Joel (MST3K) Hodgson, Bill Maher, Paula Poundstone and the Amazing Jonathan.

I would love to track down a copy of "Opening Night at Rodney's Place," another HBO special that I once had on tape but have long since lost...

FileNotFound · 12-11-2003, 01:58 PM

I got the bag too.

It had some Zest soap, some Dyno detergent, a bar of Secret deodorant and a bunch of coupons.

I thought that was funny. Thing is, in Russia despite the fact that good soap and deodorant or detergent was almost impossible to buy, giving it to somebody was considered extremely rude. It implied saying "You stink so bad you need this deodorant more than I do, while you're at it use this bar of soap on your self, oh and wash your damn clothes!"

And no I was not offended by that. I just though it was funny.

I still say that should've given me a pack of condoms...

I called. They swear you in just like you are testifying in court. So, while there is a bible on site, you don't have to place you hand upon it, simply raising you right hand will do. So it looks like you have an option since you were offended

, yet you failed to take it.

Sigh,

Thanks for clearing that up DNK. I was never really 'given' the option. She just stuck out the bible and said "Place your hand on this bibile."
I was already so frustrated with the name thing, I think we both just really wanted to get out of there as soon as possible and I didn't want to argue with the clerk. Well I might have had I been alone...

Anyway, once again thanks for clearing that up.
