Amusing License Plate Story
So I decided to get a vanity plate for my car (I’m so VAIN!). My first choice was ICU 812, which was free according to the kind people at the registration office. So I filled out the form, paid the fee and sent it away. A week later I get a call from Barb. The plate I choose is part of the standard plate pool and cannot be assigned (free, but not available for me to just take ). So I tell her I’ll phone her back with some idea’s.
A few hours later I’ve researched the matter to a fair extent and decided on: “UID 0″ I won’t bother explaining that if you don’t already know what it is… it seemed like it would be an obscure geek/admin joke… Apparently I wasn’t the first. It was taken in Saskatchewan. So I blurt my next in line, “OMG WTF”. Which was surprisingly free. I asked her if she was serious it was free. She confirmed. I took it right away, before someone would shatter my dreams of a nearly offensive plate. On Friday I receive my letter confirming that my plate was sent off to the slave labor (aka, prison factory) for production. I can expect to have my vanity plate in 4 to 6 weeks… mmmm
