    I’ve used passports as IDs before and had dumb-ass hicks freak out becaused they’d never seen such a document. One time, I had to search my luggage for a driver’s license. And good thing it’s not from New Mexico. My mother had all kinds of shit about that when doing business travel to various bass-ackward parts of the US. “Durr, is that a country?

    Yeah, bud, I can see why you’re so confused when it says “STATE OF NEW MEXICO” right on it.

      New Mexico license plates specifically say “New Mexico USA” because so many New Mexican residents kept getting pulled over for having “foreign” plates when traveling throughout the US.
