[austechwriter] Joke: Just like Queensland ;)

I had moved to South Carolina from New York, and at that time 
a vehicle inspection was required to register my car.  I was 
nervous; my car was in rough shape.  I thought of New York's 
rigorous inspections. Any number of problems might turn up 
that would be expensive to fix. I drove down a country road 
and found a garage that had an inspection sign.  

When I told the mechanic what I needed, he circled the car,
turned on the lights and honked the horn.  Then he attached 
a new sticker and asked me for the three-dollar fee. 

I was shocked.  "Is that all you have to do?" I asked. 

He answered, "Well, you drove it here, didn't you?"
