I do this a lot with phone numbers - saying them over and over again. When I do this, I have them stored in memory for life.
8-6-7-5-3-0-9....
I bet they had lipstick. And lipstick sticks to everything. I once heard a police officer recommend keeping lipstick in the car for emergencies because you can write on anything with it. It was a dumb suggestion though; as every woman knows, lipstick melts in a hot car.

5-8-8 2-3 Hundred....... Empire!
Not a writing implement amoungst them I guess?
Not a tube of lipstick among any of them?
2,4,6,8... what's the number on the license plate????
This has made my day. I've had a headache all day today from an accident yesterday in which my husband stopped for a driver stopped in the right lane of a four-lane divided highway looking at directions or a map. We had to slam on the brakes to avoid her, but the car behind us got us. When she saw what happened in her rearview mirror, she sped away. Argh! Good for these cheerleaders. Glad they got this driver. Maybe my headache will now go away.
I've always had an ability to remember license plate numbers.
That ability came in handy last December.
On the way home from a Christmas Party, my husband and I witnessed a car rearend another car. I looked at the license plate number, just in case they took off.
I saw the car pull into a small driveway. And then, I saw a body lying in the road.
After I got out of the car to help the man in the road, I also noticed that the offending vehicle had taken off.
The man in the road passed away from being run over by the person that took off.
They located the car using the information I provided police. They found blood and hair under the bumper. The man was 21 years old. He was arrested and charged with several offenses, however the case is still being played out in the courts.
This is a reminder to all. If you hit someone and get nervous and take off, SOMEONE is bound to record your license plate. It's not worth it. Face up to your crime and tell your side.
I have not been called to testify yet, but I'm curious to see what this coward looks like.
BTW, the man who was killed was a 42 year old high school custodian that had previously had a DUI. He swore never to get into a car if he thought he might drink. He was killed while walking home from his friend's house.
Not a singlke one of them had a pen or lipstick or anything to write it in their hand?
"I can't spell VW but I drive a Porsche 'cause I'm a blonde B-L-O-N-D-E".
A portable word processor -- a pencil!
"Police had a difficult time locating the driver in question, as his license plate did not read exactly as the girls had given it, which was "okay, there was like this 'M' thingy, and that number that looks, like, you know, like a straight line with like a string on it on it, and then another letter that was kinda, you know, like, round and stuff, and then, well, there was, you won't believe this, another letter just like it, only a little different, and that number that is like two zeros on top of each other and everything! But we made up a cheer to remember it... it goes... HIT IT GIRLS!
M thingy, number stringy, not too tough!
Two more letters like round and stuff!
Two zeros stacked on top like a hat!
Can you believe we remembered all that?
Ungh! Yeeeah yeah yeah Ooh! Wagga wagga Ungh!
An official who asked not to be named said after police enjoyed the gratuitous gyrating and shaking, they then went across the street to a security camera, got the actual license plate number, and went the the driver's home.
Hey! You might be on to something there. Now if there was a type of light weight device that this "pencil" could record information on.
It would have to be light. Perhaps as light as pressed wood pulp.
We're the girls from Norfolk U
We don't smoke and we don't chew
Norfolk! Norfolk! Norfolk!
