If only I'd been driving alongside her with a license plate that read PROVEIT.
Unfortunately, you could only ever get that on a plate from Missouri, I think. I believe I recall somewhere in the
Code of Federal Regulations (makes for good soporific bedtime reading when Sominex and a warm glass of milk fail) that the U.S. Department of Transportation has the power to reserve certain phrases for vanity tags of specific states in order not to infringe on their trademarks, as "PROVEIT" undoubtedly would on Missouri's motto "The Show-Me State."
I'm sure if there were ones set aside just for my Upstate N.Y., one would be "MYCOSNMYWIF."
Clearly, she is making a claim that should be tested for authenticity.
I'm thinking it would be cooler still if vanity plates came in legally recognized pairs, so this car Jeff spotted could have had "TICKLSH" on the front and "PROVEIT" on the back. I mean, the onus would be on us [<--
unintentional pun] 'lers to do the "scientific" assaying, wouldn't it?
Sorry, Officer, yes, I admit I was following too closely, but it was all in the sacred name of science. But I'll contest your claim in court that my vision was obscured from my windshield being all fogged up on the inside.
