DMV denies tofu license plate

DENVER - Kelly Coffman-Lee wanted to tell the world about her love of tofu by picking the letters for her car's license plate.

But her tofu fondness ran into a snafu at the Division of Motor Vehicles, which blocked her plan because they thought the combination of letters could be interpreted as profane. Her suggestion for the plate on her Suzuki: "ILVTOFU."

Department of Revenue spokesman Mark Couch said the letters could be misinterpreted.

Coffman-Lee, 38, said tofu is a staple of her family's diet because they are vegan and that the DMV misinterpreted her message.

With the way license plates use abbreviations, I don't blame 'em.

I wouldn't be okay if I thought my license plate could be misinterpreted. Apparently this person didn't care.

She totally missed the point too.

The DMV's point is that some people might misinterpret. She was mad and saying "They just don't understand what I'm trying to sayyyy!!11!!!!"
Crazy vegans.

You are growing wise in your old age.

BTW I have given you ample incentives for shots the past couple of days (I am procrastinating on a paper). I hope you're not too wasted.

I think the lack of adequate meat intake causes brain function to deteriorate.

Now that I thought about it, they should have let her get the plate she wanted.

She would be back in a week after being hounded and honked at and jeered .
