I don’t know who is dumber here:Â The DMV, or the woman.
I’m gonna go with the woman, because either she tried to slip an obscene vanity plate by the DMV with an excuse nobody would ever buy, or… she really DOES love tofu. And seriously, have you ever had tofu? It’s awful. It’s like eating spongy rubber. And don’t tell me it takes on the flavor of whatever it’s cooked with, because in that case, everything I’ve ever had that was served with tofu must have tasted like spongy rubber.
On the other hand, the DMV should just let her have the plate. Either she’s a whore, or she loves tofu. Either way, I don’t see why the government should care.
Based on my own experiences with the DMV, the real surprise is that they had anybody working there who was literate enough to spot even one possible meaning of ILVTOFU, let alone two.
It says right there that she’s a vegan, so clearly she’s not the sharpest cheese on the block. But, yeah, Carrie’s not wrong about the quality of the DMV, and you’re not wrong about how irrelevant the whole thing is, so I’m going to rule this a case of Mutually Assured Stupid.
