In Australia, the licence plate of a car (called a '
rego' here) carries a slogan that some panel of important people have decided is
descriptive of what the state is all about. They are, it has to be said, pretty sad. For example, I saw a Victorian plate a while back that said 'Victoria - The place to be'.
Yeach! Queensland's is variously 'Queensland - Sunshine State' which is mostly true, or lately, 'Queensland - The Smart State'.
In the US, at least they (to my knowledge) limit the writing to just saying the state's name.
I think it's stupid to write slogans on them, especially because they are less than truthful a lot of the time. and I'm not sure that I can be
persuaded otherwise. But I'm telling you all this because tonight I was driving behind a car that had the following
written on his plate:
'I fish, therefore I lie'.
Now that's honest!
