Someone just turned me on to this, a compilation of complaints against vanity license plates. The license plates being identified as obscene range from the cleverly obscene (3M W0J8), to the probably obscene (EFF EWE), to the easily mistaken for obscene (BIG PNS for the Big Pen Company), to the clearly not obscene unless you're going way out of your way to take offense (UPTOUS, which is "obviously" a bilingual obscenity), to the-letter-writer-is-insane (Tell me, please, why POTVINSUX is obscene). But it got me thinking.

Probably the funniest vanity plate I ever saw was "HIHOAG". But on the trip I took last month down to Ocean City, I came across this one, which my girlfirend and her family speculated on the meaning of. I like my interpretation best.

I think the owner is a dyslexic barbecue enthusiast.
