| They let that pass? I'm astonished. I'd have thought that any vanity plate containing the string "SUX" would raise a flag. | |

You get to pay extra every year that you have the plate on your car. | |

Besides, the ones with a basic comprehension of phonics would just stand there, bouncing, waiting to counterattack. When the car didn't move, they wouldn't know what to do. | |

One thing I'm still toying with: Trying to get the following on a plate:
4 Q
Don't know if they'd allow that, but I might just try one of these days... | |

But if the car didn't do anything after the first two periods, I would try a fleche and then just let the rest of the time run out.

| Gee Ian, I was looking forward on congratulating you on your wedding the next time I saw you. Now instead, after the next time I see you I will have to pass on my condolences to your widow...
