When I decided to open some sort of art center one of my many ideas was to have a van with the license plate GOGH. I thought, and still do think, that this was incredibly witty. So too, apparently, did several other people.
But the important part of that, is that it’s had me looking out for more interesting license plates. Most memorably, I saw POOH on a yellow buggie. Tonight, though it doesn’t make the history books in the same way as the pooh car, I saw the license plate pictured above: STUFF.
Even after taking the picture while Simone drove and both of us laughing about it, I’m not sure what exactly makes that license plate amusing and memorable. But for some reason, it was, and sometimes you just don’t know why a new idea works. The point is to go with it anyway.
