Colo. Woman's Tofu License Plate Request Blocked

(AP)  Kelly Coffman-Lee wanted to tell the world about her love of tofu by picking the letters for her car's license plate. But her tofu fondness ran into a snafu at the Division of Motor Vehicles, which blocked her plan because they thought the combination of letters could be interpreted as profane. Her suggestion for the plate on her Suzuki: "ILVTOFU."

Department of Revenue spokesman Mark Couch said the letters could be misinterpreted.

Coffman-Lee, 38, said tofu is a staple of her family's diet because they are vegan and that the DMV misinterpreted her message.

I never understood the narcissism behind a personalized license plate.  Mine just says CMYTAG.

Had a nice looking near naked blonde pass me once. Her tag read "NTHBUFF".

I was grossing over 140,000 and 75 was all I could get outta the old Mack. Bye hun.

But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

I feel ashamed, that I'm just at a loss with what could be construed as profane from that license plate.  Would someone please corrupt me?

I looked for a photo yesterday, but couldn't find one.

There is a suburb of Nürnberg, Germany, by the name of Fürth. And, as was the custom at the time, the larger cities (like Nürnberg and Munich) would take the first initial of the city's name (N and M) in these examples in the creation of their license plates.

Smaller cities would resort to TWO initials. Ansbach, for example, had the initials "AN" followed by an assortment of numbers.

In one example of Fürth's finest, a license plate was seen with the inevitable:

"FÜ  CK 69"

Adams E2 Euphonium, built in 2017
Boosey & Co. Imperial Euphonium, built in 1941
Edwards B454 bass trombone, built 2012
Bach Stradivarius 42OG tenor trombone, built 1992
Kanstul 33-T BBb tuba, built 2011
Fender Precision Bass Guitar, built ?
