So today the SO and I were driving in the city and pulled up behind an SUV with an Illinois personalized license plate showing the handicapped parking logo. The plate said simply “CHRIST.” Being a known heathen I turned and said “Look, we’re behind Christ! Oh and he’s handicapped. Aw, it must be the holes in his hands. He has trouble holding onto things.” I got a good laugh and joking reprimand for that one, but at least it got a laugh. Got any good ones you’ve seen lately? ---

I saw a girl in a VW about a week ago whose vanity tag said “OMG STFU”. I thought it was kind of funny. ---

Kewl! Now you can say that you found Jesus, He lives in Chicago, and doesn’t always use His turn signal when changing lanes. I wonder if He was driving barefoot? ---

**Gobbler** **SOFA KING** on a porsche years ago. It took me a year to figure out the guy wasn’t some kind of furniture millionare. :smack: My own truck is **KIDL1MO** which always gets rave reviews. I wanted it to be GA5 HOR, but it was poo pooed by anyone with a sense of humor at the DMV.
