I don't know why, but it bugs me even more when it's a cigar-related business, i.e., Stars and Stripes Cigars, or whatever.
Like we always say, if people are going to buy it, somebody's gonna make it and sell it. So maybe it's the dupes who think they're being patriotic with a 'special' cigar who should draw any ire.
DMV offices! Bought a new car June 9. Tried to transfer vanity plates to new car at dealer. DMV had names wrong on registration ( missing Jr on mine, Kandice A on wifeys ), so couldn’t transfer. Gave us new plates so we could drive it. Made an appointment at DMV ( only available 2 weeks later.) An hour and half after our appointment time, they finally called us up. Took another half hour for them to understand that we wanted to transfer the old plates to new car, and cancel the new registration the dealer gave us. Tried to charge us 89 dollars plus the 20 dollar transfer fee. No, I just paid 255 dollars at the dealership for new plates. Finally a supervisor came over and okayed it for just the 20 dollar transfer fee. 3 hours, with an appointment! This is a long story! Get home, and there’s a notice from DMV to renew my license! Went online to renew, but wouldn’t let me online because of the “fire apperatus” endorsement! I have never even been in a fire truck, let alone drive one! But there it was on my drivers license! So I have to make another “appointment “ ! Crazy stuff!
I hate how dumb my spellcheck is. It is more certain I'm trying to spell "throe" than "there" which was what I was going for, but my primitive methods resulted in skipping an e. Further evidence this spellcheck is dumb is when I looked up throe, (because I couldn't imagine throe in a sentence in my head without adding an s), I was vindicated because ALL usage examples I found were plural, ALL of them, EVERY online dictionary I consulted, so why the F***! didn't it ask me if I wanted to spell throes? I have never heard of a single throe.

A good cigar and whiskey solve most problems.
Expensive sound.

Good thing you have time for all this nonsense now, Charles.
When I take the time to stage a photo and then come back to find that it didn't save on my phone.

Come to think of it you are right, I haven't either.
In the throes of a dilemma.
