This afternoon, the man that owns the house next door to me (a wonderful man), and his nephew that lived there for several years came over (the nephew and I became great friends, but don't get to visit so much these days).
It is a rent house, currently rented by my son's fiance'. We ALL have a long-term plumbing project going on over there that is TOO long-term to describe.
Anyway, when the house owner pulled up, he and his nephew were in a vehicle that I did not recognize. It was a small Toyota SUV (I do not know the proper name). So, I said to him, "Hey Stranger! Get you some new wheels?"
My friend replied, "Oh no...we've had this for a couple of years." Then he told me that it is the vehicle that his wife drives. I then realized why I had not seen it, as he normally comes around in his work truck, or their old Dodge van.
Now, his nephew...let's call him Charlie (because that's his name) said, "Andy, I always rag on my Aunt about this worthless Toyota. Her license plate # is OMG 822. Every time I ride in it, I say OH. MY. GOD! Charlie is like from the younger generation...about 15 years younger than me, and he knew about computer shorthand, and internet "code talk" before I ever owned a computer.
That was funny, but as always, I had a story of my own to tell. (You know...never leave an opportunity not risen to). I told him, "Charlie...you know Ronnie & Marcelle across the street...well, their oldest daughter has a license plate on her old red Saturn that will top that one."
When I told him what it says, the poor fellow almost keeled over laughing.
When I first saw her license plate, I laughed like a retarded hyena...and it took me a while to fish this photo out of the archives...but here it is.
I've gotta e-mail it to Charlie...just so he'll know I ain't no liar or nothing...
