It's time again for a new thread for the most popular Tek-Tips topic ever.

How do you like this ironic plate?:

Somehow, we lucked out and got JEEP for our Jeep.

My diesel truck, after failing emissions for the third time, had to have SMOGGER, it just had to.

I'm sure this one lends itself to a lot of different interpretations.

To add to my post about the ARSENAL license plate, I mentioned this to one of my co-workers and he said, "I know that guy." Turns out his son and this guy's son are on the same soccer team and ARSENAL is some sort of soccer team name.

ARSENAL is some sort of soccer team name

Yes, in much the same way as the "Yankees" is some sort of baseball team name. <grin>


Arsenal is the name of a UK Premier League (Professional Big League) Football (Soccer) team whose home field is the 60,000+ seat Emirates Stadium in the London borough of Islington.

The team had its beginnings in 1886 when workers at the Woolwich Arsenal Armaments Factory formed a soccer team. They went professional in 1891.

Chacalinc,

That would not get past the censors at the DMV.

2ffat - I thought along those lines, but came up with "Biggest Boozer" instead of "Beer Buyer"...

The giveaway was the fact that it was on a St. Louis Blues vanity plate - (Detroit Red) Wing(s) hater

Personalised plates are quite different in the UK (in that they have to fit the standard, which at the moment is XX99XXX - where 99 tells you the age of the car. They used to be X999XXX where you could work out the age from teh first alpha character... anyway....)

I had a cold shiver this morning when I saw a black landrover with the numberplate

S5KKK

which I suspect was meant to mean SS KKK.... Nasty....

Fee,

In most, if not all, jurisdictions in North America, KKK is a banned combination (North Carolina even recalled all 10,000 plates in the XXX series, because it could be mistaken for KKK at a distance).

I would have thought they would have banned XXX for a differnt reason

Maybe that had something to do with it.

They were probably still smarting from the WTF debacle.

Why would anyone object to a tribute to confectioner's sugar? ( XXX )

Confectioner's sugar can range from 14X (the finest) to 4X or 3X (the coarsest).

[BadBigBen]

and here I thought, could all those Saturday morning cartoons have anything to do with it, all those jugs of XXX moonshine or other liquor?

C'mon Turk...it's common knowledge that the coarse confectioner's sugar (3X) is the least popular. Nobody likes that stuff.
