THE definitive site on this subject is at: http://www-chaos.umd.edu/misc/origplates.html - some people are VERY clever with only 8 or 9 alphanumeric characters!! One that's not there (yet - I have advised the webmaster) is one I saw the other night here in Perth, Western Australia. An Asian guy was driving the car, so his application had probably not been given a second look. The plate is - TIHZ HO . Looks innocuous enough -until you read it in your rear view mirror!! Excellent!!! stales Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Share Post on Reddit Re: Number PL8's #13693 12/21/2000 11:30 PM Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 1,981 jmh Pooh-Bah jmh Pooh-Bah Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 1,981 In case you have a little time on your hands, you'll find a discussion from the mists of time at: http://wordsmith.org/board/showthreaded.pl?Cat=&Board=wordplay&Number=3014 but feel free to carry on posting here.

By Texas law it should have been banned. Anyone know why? Here's a hint: if you don't answer euphemistically, you'll be considered rude.

Well, that's how I remember it...

I saw one on a car up at Lake Tahoe a few days ago, that said SNO XQS. Thought it was pretty clever.
