Yeah i knew maybe 2 calculator jokes like those with crude punchlines. I don’t know them anymore but makes you wonder who thinks these up in the first place

The first calculator joke I ever heard was from my dad, who had me add up a long string of numbers with some kind of story about coal or gasoline, I honestly forget – but it ended up spelling out 71077345 (SHELL OIL). I forgot the joke but remembered how to spell HELL.

I’m assuming they’ve got one for parking too.

Same. I tried to spell HELLO but missed. 07734 isn’t a number that displays on a calculator. The closest I could manage was 0.7734, or HELL’O, which must be that bargain-basement used-food Jell-O they serve in hospitals.

Exactly! They used to be a badge of meticulous care and upkeep… Now sadly they are a badge of douchebaggery.

I worked out on a scientific calculator you could spell C01DC0FFEE. Right side up no less.
But then I guess you get into all the programmer-isms. DEADBEEF. 0FF1CED0C.

Yeah, and I did not see that coming. I didn’t want to think so, but I swear, every time I see a shiny black plate these days (and in Hollywood I see 'em a lot), they’re on new black expensive cars being driven badly by sunglassed goobers.
It’s really weirdly obnoxious that any schmuck with an extra $50 can get a pair of those plates and slap 'em on anything, and the only people who do it are like the worst people on the road, driving the most hatable cars, and they only do it because they have some strange misconception that such accessorizing makes their Lexus look like Dom’s Charger in the first Fast and the Furious.

Now that it’s been publicized it will probably be taken away.
This actually happened to a friend of mine, he got a letter in the mail that his personalized plates had been revoked and he had to surrender both plates to the DMV within 30 days or they would revoke the registration on his car.
11 years later he still had them. He really appreciated the fact that he didn’t have to pay the registration fees any more. I never did find out how he got around the registration sticker thing.

I still like them better than the ones with that butt-ugly brush script.

Great. That’ll be stuck in my head all through finals week.
At least it’s better than Umbrella.

Yeah, that was a design misadventure more unfortunate than the sunset plates of the 80s. And the ones with the DMV URL? Who the hell needs or wants to see that while stuck in traffic?
I liked the sunset plates. Mmm, Susan Dey. But the blue & yellow ones still iconify California for me, having grown up on the East Coast watching TV in the 70s and dreaming of living here.
Okay, those examples are from the 80s, but still.
ETA: I am now remembering that we had a black & white TV through the 70s anyway.

Hey, a pickup is a lot less ostentatious, but that’s pretty much what your everyday arsehole drives.
