Yes. Your county highway department. A friendly conversation with the

Maybe be a good guy and buy him lunch.

Joe,

I'm not out to start a flame war, but you made me LOL.

I work for our States Department of Transportation. One thing, which will
get someone canned in a hurry, is taking something even as small as a cup
of coffee, let alone a lunch. That is a no-no within all government.

Government pricing will not apply to individuals.

Good point, Anthony, but we do things differently in Illinois. G Of

circumspection for all involved. Cheers,

Joe

Finding an "escort" to go with you works wonders in almost any
environment. Smiles from hot chicks don't open doors, they blow doors
off hinges.
