The idle musings of a former military man, former computer geek, medically retired pastor and now full-time writer. Contents guaranteed to offend the politically correct and anal-retentive from time to time. My approach to life is that it should be taken with a large helping of laughter, and sufficient firepower to keep it tamed!
I've often wanted to have a custom numberplate which would be so jumbled and nonsensical that people wouldn't be able to remember it. Purely for innocent purposes, of course.
I don't know about other states, but CA has a DMV department that looks at requests for custom plates. They are charged with making sure nothing gets out with any non-PC content. My dad had his west coast car registered at his daughters place in Big Sur. He wanted a custom plate with 1BIGSUR, since just BIGSUR was already in use. They refused. Said it had sexual connotations. Wouldn't give him BIGSUR1, either.

As appealing as a custom plate might be, I'd rather fly under the radar.
And how many people remember Snidely Whiplash.

I remember Snidley Whiplash, and Dudly Dooright, or the RCMC. And Sweet Nell, for that matter. I recognized him instantly.
