Beetlejuice moment at the Registry

The Roslindale RMV is the sort of place you'd expect to see in "Beetlejuice" - you take a number and then you sit on old wooden benches as you wait for a clerk in a basement office that looks like it was last remodeled in 1949 (complete with steam radiators mounted up near the ceiling).

So as I'm waiting for my number to be called to renew my registration today (yes, of course I waited until the last minute), all of a sudden one of the clerk's voices rises above the general din:

You're supposed to be deceased, so you need to go to 1 Copley Place, Special Investigations.

Apparently, the guy didn't understand he was no longer alive, since she kept repeating her instructions to go to 1 Copley Place. I wouldn't be at all surprised if she also gave him a manual that reads like Japanese stereo instructions.
