Plate Show

So, upon purchasing the ultimate hooligan bike and realizing after riding it that it truly is the ultimate hooligan bike, I decided it would only be appropriate to get a vanity plate for it. Living in PA, I had to print out some forms and fill out my top 3 choices- with a max of 5 letters.
My choices: HLIGN, HULGN, HOLGN
I received a phone call several weeks ago from the DMV- they wanted to know what the letters stood for. I told them- and I could tell that the person taking the information down had no idea that hooligan was even a word in the English dictionary. They informed me that it would have to go before the ‘board for review’, and that it would take a few more weeks.
Yesterday, I received some paperwork in the mail from the DMV Specialty Plates Division. A copy of my original paperwork was enclosed with the following written beside each choice: DENIED, DENIED, DENIED.
What??!! They enlosed a paper that I would have to fill out if I wanted my $20 application fee back (is that really necessary?? just send it the f*ck back!), or I could make the appropriate changes and reapply. I called the DMV to see what the appropriate changes would be- was it that my choices were already taken or that they did not like the word hooligan?
Apparently, HOOLIGAN is a forbidden word. HOOLIGAN! Wow, what is this country coming to? I then questioned that if I reapplied with the same choices, but said that they were the initials of my children’s names if that would work… but no. Once it has been rejected, always rejected. So much for freedom of speech. Hope their vanity plates are approved- ASSHL.
Too freaking funny, and yet ridiculous all at the same time! May the HOOLIGANS live on!
