HEY JUD

Google image search for Jud. This is definitely Jud.

HEY JUD, that's what the license plate of the car in front of me read this morning. I would show you a picture of the license plate, but I'm not an idiot, I know that if I post a picture of a licence plate that I saw going down I-4 that a state trooper will be in my office in five minutes.

I'm not ready to go to prison for taking a picture while driving, people! I'm too young and too pretty!

I imagine the driver is a The Beatles fan, but wouldn't it be great if he/she weren't? The fact that the E is missing from JUDE just makes the whole thing very funny to me in any scenario.

I picture them standing at the DMV ordering their new license plate only to learn that there are not enough characters to spell HEY JUDE, so the options are either EY JUDE or HEY JUD. Personally, I like to think that I would have chosen A JUDE, because that makes sense, but anyway.

The funnier possibility is that they have never heard of The Beatles and they are just really good friends with Jud and they don't want to bother slowing down to say hello when they drive past his sitting spot at the town general store. Maybe they go on lots of road trips with Jud and this vanity plate is there in case Jud gets lost and needs to find them in traffic. Maybe they've never met a person named Jud and they really want to meet a person named Jud.

It's been a busy week and I've not written. I'm sorry.

Bye.
