Vanity plates

Yesterday I saw a shiny new Jaguar; its license plate read 'THNKSJC', which I translated as "Thanks, Jesus."

I know that J.C. means Jesus because I went to a party where I was the only non-Evangelical, and the people there kept referring to some guy named J.C. They thanked him for the karaoke machine, the food, etc. At first I thought maybe he was the party planner. But then one woman's eyes rolled upwards everytime she thanked him.

It reminded me of when I first met my ex's sister: she kept talking about her "roommmate, Dougald." "Dougald didn't look at all well today." "Dougald is really smart." I thought Dougald was a person, until she said, "Dougald coughed up a hairball."

Anyhow, if I ever got a vanity plate, it'd be 'WASHME'. Then I could preempt whoever keeps writing that on my hood.
