Could never figure out why anyone would WANT such a plate!
Ros
Possibly he/she was the 15th person with the initials "P.E.N." to request that plate?
Along similar lines, I once was at a demonstration at a clinic which, among other things, provided abortion assistance (And, I hasten to add, I was part of the very strong Pro-Choice contingent) where I spotted a car, apparently owned by one of the Pro-Life protesters, with the license plate "GOD IS 36." Having always considered God to be a rather timeless diety, this was news to me.
After puzzling this one over some time and asking some like-minded friends and acquaintances about it, no one could come up with a plausible explanation. It bugged me so much that I went over to the other side to converse with the anti-clinc protesters (something the leaders on both sides specifically discourage) for insight but, once again, gained none.
Some time later the answer occurred to me when I learned that "God is" is a Christian buzzword or catchphrase. This person apparently just happened to be the 36th individual to want it on a license plate. Mystery solved!

Possibly, possibly...
The fact that it was all run together and actually strongly resembled PENIS gives an alternate explanation! As a giggly teenager at the time, naturally I went with the latter...
