…or, maybe not.  
It said “TBLEV,” which I immediately read as [“To Blave.”](https://lilymulholland.com/2011/02/13/he-distinctly-said-to-blave/) Then I noticed that it was on an “In God We Trust” plate, and I realized that they were not true believers after all.

That license plate, I do not think it means what you think it means.

It was _clearly_ a clever reverse bluff. They must be fans of the Princess Bride AND Sicilian!

My wife and I saw a “2BLAVE” plate one day a couple of years ago when we were out running errands. We both got a good chuckle out of it. I tried to get a picture of it while I was driving but it came out all blurry.

_To believe_ this is inconceivable.
