When I was driving home today, I saw a license plate in front of me that read:"KEEPBZS". I spent a ridiculously long time trying to figure out what it meant.
"Keep busy"? Perhaps, but why the 's' at the end?
"Keep bees"? A bit more promising, although I might have just been excited about being behind a beekeeper.
I kept running things through my head. Key peeps? Keepsies? It was randomly a lot of fun, which I've found vanity plates to be...even if you never know the intended meaning.
I used to have vanity plates. They read: "UONCRK", and I had them until I received notice from the DMV that someone found my plates offensive, so they were being revoked. Although she swears up and down she didn't, I remain convinced that my mother wrote that letter ;)

ReplyDeleteJust the other day, I saw a personalized license plate that could only have been the vehicle owner's last name. The scary part was, the license plate frame read, "Proud grandma of... kid's name, kid's name, and kid's name (all girls)." I hope they're her (married) daughter's kids!
....I'm so slow, what does UONCRK mean? :)
ReplyDeleteWhen I was in high school, my so-called "catchphrase" was, "ARE YOU ON CRACK???????????"
ReplyDeleteI repeat, I'm pretty sure my mom wrote that letter :)
LOL I love trying to figure out some of them. There was one the other day that said FITZH20 and I figured out to be Fitzwater which happens to be a friend of mines last name, I thought it was pretty clever. Well not to put your last name on the license plate, but that particular one. I think the majority of people in NH have vanity plates. It's kind of odd. My dads is FISHNRT for Fishing RT (Arthur is his name) and my mom's is Baklava (she's greek) My dad has another one which was his unit number in Vietnam.
ReplyDeleteOh, haha! I get it now!
ReplyDeleteI'm slow in the mornings! :)
LOL @ your plates. Some of those can be pretty funny and some are pretty hard to figure out. I've never had a personalized plate myself.
ReplyDeleteThey have a dark side :-) As I work in university hospital, I get to see MANY plates that clearly belong to total douchebags. DrC-PhD? DRBOB? JIMMD? DNARNA? What's a good way of abbreviating "I'm insecure"? IMINSCR? SMLPNS? :-)
ReplyDeleteIn the UK, vanity plates are all but illegal. You can get a 'cherished' plate that matches your initials, but you can't fiddle about with the arrangement of the letters or how they look. At least that's the law.
