UDink, IDink, We All Dink for License Plates

The state of Oregon has ordered Mike and Shelly Udink to turn in the vanity license plates they’ve had for as long as seven years because, according to the state, their Dutch last name is similar to a bad word. No longer can their cars have the license plates UDINK1, UDINK2, and UDINK3. A DMV spokesman says the “U” could be construed as “You” — wow, who would’ve thought it? — and the “Dink” could be misconstrued as, well, I can venture a guess but I’ve never heard the term, and lord knows I’ve heard plenty of them. Something tells me the president wouldn’t have this problem. They’d probably give him sequential license plates from 1Bush through 8Bush and not ask the first question.
