This is not a children's story, but don't know where else to look.
I'm looking for a short story I read many years ago in which the main character
is waiting in line at the DMV, which proves to MOST unusual. For one thing,
Beethoven is there.
I remember that Beethoven whistles a tune and is challenged to produce a permit
allowing him to do so -- which he does -- but the permit proves to be expired.
At the conclusion of the story, the main character exasperatedly says something
on the order of, "I understand now, you can stop pretending -- you can now send
me directly to Hell." To which the clerk replies, looking directly at him with
an evil smile, "In that case you will need a Hell Visa. Line 5!" (or whichever
line it was).
Does anyone know which story this was, and where I can find it (preferably
online)???
Thanks in advance...
