In a mall the other day, we spotted a license plate holder that read "Exotic, Erotic and a Little Psychotic." Sounded like several people we have known.
There was a time when bumper stickers were a fad. The most famous was "Mary Poppins is a Junkie." we were commissioned by a radio station--LG-73, then under Don Hamilton's management--to write a series of fifty bumper stickers. The stickers would carry the station logo and a line--the most popular of which was "Simon Fraser was a Dropout."
There are still drivers who order vanity plates--Terry Garner guessed they were all ordered after three-martini lunches. But probably not in the case of an elderly lady we know, a veteran of the Bletchley Park Enigma code-breaking group, who christened her vintage auto "Agatha."
Finally, some of us remember when an LG deejay--was it Jolly John Tanner?--was chastised for reading obscene license plates on the air. Today, of course, he'd be promoted in prime time.
