Only .5% of the population would get it, but for those few it would be sooooooo good!

BTW, didn't your wife's car have a Latin license plate that the folks at the license bureau didn't comprehend, or am I confusing you with someone else?

Must have been someone else; all our license plates have been drearily conventional. But I did see an image once of a plate that read "QT31416"...

Depends on whether one hears it of sees it in print. And Vermont makes me think of Ethan Allen. He'd fit right in at a Donald T. Rump rally. The more I learn about US history the more I think not much has changed in 250 years... Roll Eyes
