I saw ‘RANDMA’, and I didn’t get it until I saw that it was a Green Bay Packer plate with the logo on the far left. I read about a white Rabbit with the plates ‘ML8 ML8’ ---

In Indiana, you can get a plate that says “In God We Trust” on the left side. I saw one with a big chrome border that looked like bones. The bones blocked out part of it, so it said “In od we rust.” ---

I remember a black VW Rabbit with the license plate **INLE**. Loved that one. And another one took my mother and I a year to figure out, since we saw it almost every day picking me up from school. It read **AUILOX**. The woman driving was blond. So confusing! Au is gold. She’s blond. Goldilocks. Yeah, we groaned too. ---

For the longest time the security people at my school wondered what my fascination with “foreign sex” was, and how I got away with splashing it across my license plate: **XXX 4N6** None of them had ever heard of the proper definition of the word: American Heritage Dictionary \*\*fo·ren·sics \*\* (fə-rěn’sĭks, -zĭks) **n.** (used with a sing. verb) \*The art or study of formal debate; argumentation. \* 😃 ---

The Rabbit of Death, in the mythology of Rabbits, is “The Black Rabbit of Inle” I had a friend who swore she saw that one, too. The one I love was one I saw at a traffic light,. It took me a minute to figure it out: **ML8 ML8** What made it perfect was that it was on a White Rabbit. The one I saw was a New Hampshire Plate, but there must be more than one of these, because someone on this Board reported another case from down South. ---
