[Magdalen] Vanity plates

[Jo Craddock]

Besides vanity plates, Louisiana has innumerable "special interest" 
plates: Save the Black Bears, LSU Alumni, (any state college) Alumni, 
Choose Life, LA Civil Notary, etc., etc. They all must be a PITA to law 
enforcement, IMO.

Two times have I considered a vanity plate. When I proudly bought - my 
first, all on my own - car, a (used) 450SL, my then-secretary suggested, 
rather than the oft-seen "HERS" or "MINE," that to prevent anyone 
thinking it was spousal unit's, I request, "NOT HIS."

I particularly enjoy those plates that go along with the car name. E.g., 
on an Infinity, "&BYOND," with reference to "Toy Story." Since I now 
drive a Honda Fit, I thought "2BTIED" would be cute, but gave it a 
second thought when I described it to spousal unit, and eyebrows were 
raised. <grin>

Peace,
Jo
