Government Offices

Today I went to the passport office in ville Saint Laurent to renew my my passport. As I was standing in line to speak with the lady at the reception who was going to check my paper work and direct me to the right counter. I took a minute to look around at people surrounding me, behind me were two young ladies pushing a baby stroller both of them were dressed in country stripper chick, faux velvet track suits exposing their mid sections. The young lady pushing the stroller had a tattoo on her lower back, but this tattoo was more of a brand then body art it said Bissonette with a stylized arrow pointing down. Now can someone tell me how else one supposed to interpret that? I don't care what anyone says to that means she practises the oldest form of birth control, (if the swimmers are in the wrong pool how can they win the race?) My trip to the the passport office also made me realize what a great country we live in their were people everywhere waiting patiently for their turn to speak to a civil servant. All of us thinking the same thing that this was taking way to much time and that we would rather be outside enjoying the last few moments of warm weather before winter sets in but no one got upset or out of hand. We all waited our turn.
