Jacqui's a Man, I should have known really

We went in to get our new drivers licences a couple of weeks ago. In Alberta you just hand over your UK licence, complete an eye test, and you get a temporary licence, then your proper photo licence is posted to you, no problems we thought. Mine turned up last Friday; Jacqui's was missing. No problems we thought, we'll wait until Monday.

No sign Monday or Tuesday then 2am Wednesday morning we get a call............................from a real life mountie.

Some man had got hold of Jacqui's licence and used it to book a hotel room, they then proceded to nick the huge plasma screen and drive off with it. So Constable Brandon called us to find out what was going on. Turns out he had just completed a failed hot pursuit, and that the hotel had ten tv's nicked in the last 6 months, probably by the same guy. Perhaps they should check the licences a bit more thoroughly.

We think he got the licence from our mailroom in the appartment block. The postman said that all over Edmonton they are getting broken into. We'll be glad to get into our new home, 17 days and counting.
