It has to do with the present day licenses

died. He paid for a fishing license and the fish won't bite. His hunting
license is no good, either. He secured a car and driver's license and can't
afford to run his car. A liquor permit was purchased, and he quit drinking.
Three marriage licenses have been secured, yet he hasn't a wife. George is a strong believer in women's rights, especially their
