W.E. David Halbert noticed this unusual license plate. Seems to be missing something, however.

Slipped one by the RMV, eh?
I'm surprised this one make it through the registry. They're usually pretty strict about rejecting anything that might be considered controversal, even if only by only uptight people. (They asked me whether my plate, which I think is pretty straightforward, meant anything in any foreign languages).
I suppose that this might be a statement on exactly how strapped for cash they are.
Got something against "Test
Got something against "Test Class"?
Anyway, whenever I see a truck with 'nutz', I've always wanted to slap a magnet on the bumper that says "I ♥ Balls" or "♂♂ Marriage Equality NOW ♂♂", etc.
I am very happy you said
I am very happy you said magnet rather than sticker. Defacing cars is a big no-no, kids!
Many years ago, a friend of mine who is
a fan of the Southern Pacific Railroad (now part of the Union Pacific), applied to the RMV for a vanity plate reading ESPEE - which is the commonly accepted nickname in railfan circles for the Southern Pacific.
Because of the strict censorship rules regarding vanity plates, it took him almost two years of appeals before he finally got the plate.
Just Like The Old Testament?
Any time I've read a book by Bart Ehrmann or Ann Pagels about the Old Testament or a documentary on History TV or Discover, it's often mentioned that the early scrolls that form the basis for the final product omitted vowels. I thought that such a practise could lead to confusion, but THERE'S NO CONFUSION HERE.
Most written Hebrew today also omits vowels
Better Red?
I remember in the '70s my friend's mother, who was named Mary Ann Osborn, couldn't get a vanity plate with her initials. Too political, said the RMV. I thought of that the other day when I saw a generic Mass. plate that used the "MAO" letter combo after the three-number sequence. I guess times have changed.
Shame All Over Us
No one in my family can get a plate with our last name — BALL. We're obscene per se.
Dirty minded people
Can't you recognize the truck of a fellow who does SAT prep?
Urologist's vehicle?
:)
That, or the owner went for a vanity plate with s/he considered totally innocuous, but with the RMV rejected. And this was the end result.
My all number plate . . . .
. . . coveted and fought over in the family- and its mine!
