| | And to think, someone paid good money for this... | |
Auburn is FULL of "vanity" tags of one sort or another. We have a lot of fun reading them and sometimes puzzling over them, wondering what they actually mean. (I think it's silly to spend extra money on something that other people can't even decipher because it only means something to you and maybe your close friends/kin.) But I saw one the other day that really made me go 
"MY TOE"
My toe?!?!

I still laugh about the local driver with the TITLEGAL plate. Topless Women Unite! Oh wait, she's in real estate...

Meanwhile, a couple of years ago here in AL, some guy was not allowed to get a plate that read "DOUGAL", which was his last name. Why? Because the people in charge of that sort of stuff claimed that it could be read as "DO U GAL" as in, "can I do you?" or "do you, gal?" and that it was obscene.

All I get from "MY TOE" is Mytosis, which is not what I think they mean.

I don't remember, but I don't think it was anything that you could get "toe" out of.

I just had a thought - I wonder if it was someone trying to spell "toy" as in "my toy"?

My favorite vanity plate was on a Mercedes I saw in Atlanta one time. It said "AMENDS". Janis Joplin would be so proud. |

Then there was the boat named "DAMIFINO"
My parent spent much time trying to figure out what that meant when my youngest sister (maybe 6 at the time) read it for them: dam if I no
Just got to know where to put the pauses.
