One of the greatest things in the world is having a good license picture. A good license picture is a rare thing - like a unicorn - and when you finally have one, you treasure it. At least that's how I felt about my old license picture (above).
My license expires tomorrow, so I went to get it renewed today on my lunch break. While the picture above is not the best picture ever taken of me, it is, at least, entertaining. When I went to get my license last time, the state trooper I got was in a good mood. Or rather, a Fantastic mood. He was cutting up and joking during our whole 10 minutes together. Hence why I'm laughing in my photo. This was the 4th take (at his insistence) - he wanted me to be laughing in my photo.
I was, somewhat foolishly hoping, that today's experience at the DMV would be just as entertaining as the last. I was wrong. The girl working the camera looked like she really wanted to be somewhere else and didn't have a good sense of humor. I tried real hard to have another fun picture, but alas, she made me retake my photo until it was something akin to a mugshot. Oh well.
At least they let me keep my old license.

Make a funny face when you arrive, and keep that face the entire time you are standing in line. This way, they won't realize it's not the way you normally look. That way you can be making a face in your license picture and get away with it.
Just a hint for the future. I plan on doing this when I have my license renewed next.
To make myself laugh for IDs I typically just think of a good joke. For my NASA ID I thought of this one. http://www.funnyhub.com/jokes/pages/penguin-eating-ice-cream.html
One of the best pictures I've ever taken.
Also, it's a pain in the ass that the comment window doesn't allow copy+paste, otherwise I would've just given you the whole joke.
Awww it IS a cute picture! I always look like an idiot in my pictures... I get sooo tired of waiting in line that by the time it comes to take the pic, I forget what I'm actually doing so I look blah in the pic!
The folks that work at the DMV are all ex-assassins and puppy killers. The guy you had before was obviously an infiltrator.
Sorry to any of your readers that have loved ones that fall into one of the afore mentioned categories. >_<
