"But merlot did and Eurick was fine until an anonymous caller told the state that merlot was also an alcoholic beverage."

Or, your first name was Bud?

[muir_redwoods]

I knew a fellow named Richard and his last name began with "U" but the state of CT wouldn't give him "DICK U" for a vanity plate.

Go figure

I guess Virginia didn't have the same uptightness about plates. My two favorite vanity plates I saw when I lived there (2000-2004) were BEER PLZ and LQR PLZ.

[Publius6961]

until the Utah Tax Commission told him last week that he had to remove it because the state doesn't allow words of intoxicant to be used on vanity plates.

If you ever needed proof and documentation of the intrinsic stupidity of bureaucrats...

Merlot is the name of a grape.

... never mind...

[Fresh Wind]

I saw a plate with "WANKER" on it. It was on a Jaguar. Not something to be proud of, I would say.

Let me guess, his wife uses "Oil of Gamay" beauty creme, right?

Incidents like this, duly reported, and repeated, will doom Mitt Romney's campaign.
