She had a 911-SC (MG?) and wanted to show it off with the license plate, MY 911SC . Trouble was that somebody had already asked for that plate. So, she got MY 9IISC (with two I's instead of two 1's). She was happy with this for a while, but then the car with the first license plate was stolen; since then, she's been stopped by police in three states for driving a stolen car. Each time, she's told them the same story: "The stolen plate is 9-1-1-S-C; mine is 9-I-I-S-C." Each time she's had to "come down to the station" before anybody bothered to call California and get it straight. Not especially funny, but a caveat to people who get similar license plates. -- Allan Pratt ... decvax!ihnp4!iuvax!isrnix!akp
