The DMV is making reader Paul surrender his license plates because they could stand for something untoward, but he takes solace in the fact that he made them type a nasty word in a legal document.

They won the battle but i won the war. I have to surrender my plates but at least i made them write the horrific word in an official legal document, and I made some legal secretary have to type it, which could be sexual harrassment for that person. And now, by showing that degrading and filthy term to all of you, i have poisoned your souls forever. Oopsie. Sorry about that whole damnation thing.

But the real joke is that OPEC FY means “Operation Eco-Friendly” (i own a Prius, see?). Isn’t that what you all thought?

Sure, Paul. Whatever you say!
