    2BV-2B
    Groan. Way too esoteric! I only know because I'm a fellow math geek.

    "( TWO B ) OR ( NOT TWO B )"

    or, less esoteric:
    2BR-2B
    Two bedrooms, two baths. Definitely a realtor's plate.

      It's too bad you can't use a tilde, because if I could use 2BV~2B, I'd do it in a second.

      I like it because it combines the two disciplines I primarily teach. And I like it because not ANYbody would get it. But I do want people to get it, or else what's the point?

      The second one was supposed also to say "to be or not to be."

      What about the U for "or" instead?

        I don't think that would work. The "U" symbol usually means union, so your plate's reading would be

        The union of 2B and not 2B

        or

        2B union not 2B

        or

        2B and not 2B

                That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

                    Wait a minute. You're correct until that last step. Union means "or." Intersection means "and."

                    If set A = {abcde} and set B = {defgh},
                    Then AUB includes any item appearing in at least one set, so AUB = {abcdefgh}. In other words AUB means A or B. So 2BU-2B would be "to be OR not to be."

                      I saw this on a car today in Hilo: NO B2BZ or No be too busy. I told my wife he should have just put LAZY on his vanity plate.

                        Turns out this random snap of a license plate, which I had posted to my Flickr account, triggered one of those "small world" moments involving a couple of our fellow HT users...

                          A coworker bought a Volkswagen Rabbit when they first came out. He got the plate “WABBIT” and above the plate he put the letters “KWAZY”.

                          In Colorado I saw a Corvette with the plate “55HAHA”. He was very carefully following the speed limit.

                          Spotted recently on H1; “H8MYEX”. That must have been a bitter divorce.

                          My plate just cuts down on the number of people that ask what kind of car it is.

                            I know a couple folks in the NE Hawaiian club who live in RI....hmmm...

                              Say one of those very large Nissan Titan crew cab trucks on the H-201 with this license plate: 8AHEMI. I hope he didn't get indigestion!

                                Saw all of the following yesterday:

                                B KAPU;
                                SS 66 (1966 Chevelle Malibu SS);
                                GBSR (GB, Sr.?);
                                HWSC 88;
                                GOOD4U;
                                SHAZAM;
                                GYP MAN (gypsum board installer?);
                                CHA C

                                Any possible interpretations?
