Waiting in traffic last night, I noticed the license plate of the car next to mine: “1-1-CAPT”
“One-One-Captain”? What a stupid plate to have, and an especially stupid one to pay extra for.
Yes, I understand: It could be somewhat funny if they were roman numerals representing “one” instead of arabic numerals, because you could pronounce “I-I-CAPT” as “aye, aye, Captain,” but they aren’t, so you can’t, and it isn’t.
Gah. Well, I suppose it’s an extra ten bucks for the Commonwealth every year, so that has to be the silver lining.
