My daughter, Her Royal Cuteness, wants to have a Punch Buggy (a.k.a. VW Beetle). She isn't 16 yet and only has her learner's permit, but has wanted this car for probably the last 6 years or so. I don't know if we will cave and eventually get her a used one or not, depends on if we win the lottery or if any rich uncles, that we don't know we are related to, kick the bucket.
To humor her, Hubby, who is a frequent Vanity Plate changer, decides to dedicate his car's tags to her. He is quick on the internet site, and orders new plates for his car that are to read "IPUNCHU". Get it?!? I Punch You...we are so clever. Right? Even without the cute car, for 1/1000 of the price, she'll be happy.
Wrong.
As we are awaiting the arrival of the new plates, we get a letter from DMV. They have denied our request for the plates because the plates violate their policies by "condoning violence." Yes, you read that correctly, we are asking for a way to publicly express our overwhelming desire to hit strangers.
DMV obviously has some pretty strict rules, since they denied that to us, but issued a plate reading "SNIPER" that we saw on a Hummer parked outside of the local hunting/fishing store.
I guess that if we punch you, we are very publicly violent, but if we shoot you from our hiding place, it's okay.
That's the government for you. You probably can get a plate that says Tax Me but not Tax you! LOL
ReplyDeleteYou just can't catch a break with the DMV

ReplyDeletethat is hilarious!
Funny! I am sooo not looking forward to my children driving cars at 16. Doesn't that seem young to you? I mean, they can barely clean their rooms at that age! Good luck with all that! Eek.
ReplyDeleteC - Tax Me - That's great! The government would probably be okay with Fuck Me, too.
ReplyDeleteOT - I know! It's getting so that I may need to get some protection for my momvan - like lasers or an invisible forcefield...
Sherilin - Thanks, that's government logic for you.
Crystal - I survived my son, so I'm ready for her. Here's my secret - I took my son out first to drive and tensed up just enough that he didn't want to drive with me again - so Hubby had to do it! It was the perfect plan. Bwahahah!
heee
ReplyDeleteYour hubby sounds great
Humor is so important
that is all
There is a lady that lived across the street from my ex boyfriend's house that is super flamboyant and out there and wears silly glasses and is extremely active in the community. Her last name is Hooker. It's also on her license plate.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you'll breath a sigh of relief knowing that while you can't threaten others with violence, you CAN entice them with your sexual wares!
BTW there is a blog award awaiting you on muh blog. <3
LOL... bureaucracy.
ReplyDeletePBJ - Amy, my Hubby rocks and we get through life LAUGHING!! Favorite License plates of his : he's the oldest of 4 boys and drove home with car plates reading "MOMS FAV". Priceless!
ReplyDeleteCake - Tara, I don't think I want my daughter, or hubby for that matter, enticing anyone with their sexual wares. Hmmm...Maybe on my momvan...Thanks for the award!
Dr. C - Bore-ocracy?
Ok, not supposed to be funny, but I'll admit, it's the first time I've laughed all day! Just buy your daughter the damn car!...ok, now I'm laughing harder!
ReplyDeleteMy blog post this week had to do with our daughter "Sheldon's" lead foot, good luck, you'll need it.
ReplyDeleteSandra - It is funny - and I'm glad that I could make you laugh! If you send me the bucks, I'll buy her the car!
ReplyDeleteMrs. Tuna - Thanks for visiting. I read your post - quite amusing. I've been through this once with an older child, but this one is gonna put years on me!
Ha! What if you toned the violence down a bit?

Stupid DMV. No comediennes there!
Caleb - I like INOHITU! But it totally goes against the "punch buggy" mind set.
ReplyDeleteFunny, there's a plate in our neighborhood that reads BEEJAY. Guess they don't have anything against that.
ReplyDeleteYears ago in California, I saw GTFOOMW, on a little black Corvette. DMV not so smart, I figured it out in about 5 minutes. Something about getting out of their way. :)
Good luck with the new driver.
Molly - Thanks for stopping by! I saw a plate in a school parking lot that said XEYMKCF (read it backwards). I wondered how that mom explained that to her kids!
ReplyDeleteThe DMV is the same everywhere I guess! We have five kids and four of them had a vw bug for their first car. Not different bugs, but the same bug.
