From London comes a story about this senior government official who was punished for leaving secret intelligence files on a train when he was taking them home. How do you suppose that went?
“Is this Lost and Found? I left some files on the 6:40 from Paddington yesterday and I wondered if anybody turned them in? They were in a tan folder, and the cover said, Top-Secret Plans for Invading Pakistan and Toppling the Corrupt Regime.”
“I’m afraid not, sir. Here’s one called Top-Secret Plans for the Normandy Invasion, and another titled Using Opium to Take Over China and Get Rich, but those have been here for some time.”
“I say! May I leave some identification in case they turn up?”
“Of course. Hmm, License to Kill. Jolly good! We don’t get many of those around here, Mr. Seven…”

Here in Ohio, you can order a “vanity” license plate for your car, to get a personalized number. I think they cost around $50.00/year. (I don’t have one. I’m either too frugal (cheap) or can’t think of anything witty enough to pay $50.00/year to advertise.)
But to the point, I saw a plate not too long ago with “007″ in it; the rest of the plate made clear that it referred to the “007.” I thought: “Grow up and get serious.” What a fantasy-idiot.
I wonder if the driver was a stock broker.
- Posted by Dr. DollIt could always be worse. I remember hearing a song about an organ transplant driver leaving his charge behind in the City by the Bay. A Mr. Bennett, I believe.
- Posted by JoshOne time I saw a license plate on a car too, pretty weird.
- Posted by ktLicense plates? Another creative way to collect taxes yea.
I figure if it doesn’t give me better gas milage, increase the time interval between oil changes or make the tire last longer I don’t need it.
Anyone that thinks they need a vanity plate is simply throwing money away.
- Posted by ragferI heard about an Ana who drove a Lexus and got a vanity plate that said: “ANASLEX” - Very, very unfortunate no one caught that one …

I’m so confused! The story was about top secret documents and these comments are about License plates…..did I miss something? I do find it funny though, too many of my own conversations have veered of course and sounded like these…hahahaha Ah good times, good times.
