My old plate was WEBBED1; one day I was on the expressway & was passed by SPIDEY. It’s amazing how many people thought I was a swimmer, with duck-like appendages. ---

In traffic this morning I was behind a van with a plate reading “ILLIAD”. Alright, so either they can’t spell or are combining a literary reference with being from Illinois. Then I realized the van was a Honda Odyssey. :dubious: ---

Sweetie spotted a feminist plate as we were pulling out of a parking space and I had to correct him as to what it said. He read it as IDA WMN “I da woman!” I realized it was 1DA WMN, which is even better. ---

> [@Elendil\_s\_Heir](#): > > All right, the notecard I keep in my car has filled up. Here’s what I’ve seen recently: > > ES QUE EL - Spanish for…? High school Spanish suggests this says “Is that him?”, and the driver is either someone famous or looks like someone famous. Or it could be a homophone for SQL, in which case you’ve maybe got a Spanish-speaking database programmer. Not so much amusing as puzzling, recently I saw: 1Y 2X It has to be personalized, but damned if I can figure out what it’s referring to. ---
