74 y/o Has Her Decade-Old Vanity Tags Pulled for "Profanity"
Well, she could use her surname instead....
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- A woman in Columbus may lose her long-time vanity license plate because the state now says it's obscene.
Pat Niple (NY'-puhl) has had a plate with the letters N-W-T-F. She says they're short for "Northwood Tree Farm," a Christmas tree business she and her late husband owned.
But the 74-year-old recently got a letter from the Bureau of Motor Vehicles saying the personalized plate violates the agency's standards against profanity.
At a BMV office, Niple says she was told the letters are an abbreviation popular online. She says a clerk whispered it stands for a phrase beginning with, "Now what the."
Niple plans to appeal. In the meantime, she's got temporary tags.
God bless our governments, there to look out for us when and how (they determine) we need it most.
