No, srsly. A woman in Oklahoma got to wear her colander on her driver's license photo. And Oklahoma is in the 10th Circuit, while Nebraska is in the 8th.

When it came to her driver’s license photo, one Oklahoma woman had no problem taking her glasses off to give the camera a clear shot of her face.

But her spaghetti strainer? No way.

Shawna Hammond, a Pastafarian from Enid, says wearing a metallic colander on her head is her guarantee of religious freedom—a right she doesn’t take lightly.

“For me the colander represents freedom, our freedom of religion, and to whatever religion we prefer or lack of religion,” Hammond told KFOR.


RAMEN!
