I'll admit that it's funny, but pictures with profanity may offend some and should not be posted.0

Profanity??? Perhaps in the eyes of the beholder - also:
A cylindrical rod incised with one or more helical or advancing spiral threads, as a lead screw or worm screw.
The tapped collar or socket that receives this rod.
A metal pin with incised threads and a broad slotted head that can be driven as a fastener by turning with a screwdriver, especially:
A tapered and pointed wood screw.
A cylindrical and flat-tipped machine screw.
A device having a helical form, such as a corkscrew.
A propeller.
A twist or turn of or as if of a screw.
Slang.
A prison guard.
The turnkey of a jail.
Chiefly British Slang.
Salary; wages.
A small paper packet, as of tobacco.
An old broken-down horse.
A stingy or crafty bargainer.

Those are great! When I was living in Santa Barbara a few years ago, somebody was going around and taping pictures of a screw on those bumper stickers that read "i heart my (insert your favorite breed of dog)"
I'm sure some folks wouldn't think its funny, but hey, I thought it was hilarious (and I own dogs, but never one of those stickers)!
About 20 some years ago I tried to get personal plates for my '42 Ford Pickup truck in California that read "js rod" for street rod. They said it was too suggestive, and when I was in the DMV 6 months later, they had let someone else have the exact same plate!
But then, I'm a heathen!

Jay, it's pretty bad when even the California DMV knows that you are a heathen!

I LOVE IT , I LOVE IT. Sure am glad somelse has a since of humor like mine.0 -
Best laugh I've had in a week!
Jay - Was this in your youth? Suit & tie, or was the "grunge" look 'in' about that time?
Well, let me think........
The js rod think was in the "new wave" and early punk (Dead Kennedys, Sex Pistols) timeframe of the early-mid 80's. But though my hair stuck up on the top, it was never spiked or mohawked (I didn't like those and would never have kept my job looking like that!). Santa barbara incedents were during my suit & tie days, though it wasn't me putting those stickers on, though I might if I had thought of it first! lol

I tried to get "666", but they would have none of that either! Some folks have no sense of humor! :-)

So you're saying I can't get "Lola Wants" on my license plate?

I think you could get that....except it may be too many letters long. Whats the most allowed there in TX?
Jay0 -
Hi Jay,
I see you are online. Just a joke! Maybe! Yes it's too many letters but I have antique license for the car so I don't need an official license plate for the front. More than likely I'll get something shorter using one of those personalized license plates you can purchase over the internet. I think I can squeeze 8 letters onto one of them. If so, I'll use "Lola Gets".
It's interesting here in Texas for antique cars, we are only required the one tag for the back and we don't need the yearly state inspections nor smog tests. Cool, huh?0 -

Jay, it's possible somebody in the DMV might've been "saving" it for a buddy and just gave you an apparently very lame excuse, because I've seen the word "rod" on vanity plates all over the place here in Wisconsin. You'd be surprised at how many "under-the-table" deals like that can go on.
On the other hand, I know of someone who managed to circumvent the censors with plates. This guy worked in PR for Mercury Marine in Fond du Lac and had vanity plates which read, "OMERDE". His explanation was that it stood for "Outboard Marine Engineering, Research & Development Executives" or something like that. Never mind that it's actually French for "Oh, s#i+!" He got away with these plates for over two years before someone in the DMV finally caught on, and then only because someone called in to complain!

Someone got away with the following for a couple years in Washington: 6UL DV8. I think the space in the middle threw them off- The guy told them it was his old Canadian zip code, or something, and he missed the fatherland. Or motherland. Or something.0

Yes, and some beholders are blind. Stop being silly and look at the context of how the word was used. It implies F'ing someone. Is this want you want you kids or grandkids to see when then they read along with Dad or Grandpa on this forum? Is this how you want those kids to grow up thinking and behaving. Forget it...I already know the answer.0 -

Since I (apparently mistakenly) created this silly posting to try and lighten things up a bit, I can't resist responding. At the risk of revealing the fact that I went beyond the fourth grade, your equating the word that concerns you with a thinly disguised rendition of the "F-word" is incorrect. In this context this word comes from the expression "putting the screws to," which is ancient and refers to thumbscrews, a method of forcing folks to do what you wanted them to through torture. I humbly apologize for any offence I created by posting photo printed in a widely-read magazine by the most prestigious publishing company in the automotive industry.0 -
Please, at least try and pretend to be sincere. Based on its financial success, Hustler magazine must be a widely-read magazine too. Are you somehow equating the fact that just because the pic from your post was published in a high touted magazine, it pays credence and gives carte blanche to its use? Are you the one who created this sign or are you endowed with mystical powers of perception as to the author's mindset? If you are neither, how have you arrived at the perceived
meaning? FYI, I can back my statements up with a phone call inquiry I made which, BTW, revealed to me the author's mindset to be as I thought.
Isn't it interesting that although profanity is not allowed in threads, posts or PM's on this forum, it is somehow OK to publish pictures which elude to same?
And for your edification, I once shared this forum with my children. But if crude language and a questionable mindset are allowed to continue, this will change.0 -

I would guess that the owner meant the last definition, but I didn't call to check. If the owner of the wrecking yard was looking to spill his guts about same sex relationships, I think he would have found a better place to do it.:o
It was meant to be funny, I think it was. I was raised catholic, but the nun smoking a cigar didn't offend me either.:D

I am more offended by people's attitudes than words. Sam, I appreciate your (attempt) at some levity. The board can use some right now.

You are obviously eminently familiar with Hustler magazine, while I have never seen a copy, so I have to concede your point. Since I have already apologized to you and your children, you may consider the matter closed. I urge you to avoid the issue of Autoweek which contains this wrecking yard photo, since it also features a very salacious four-color centerfold of the new Audi R8.0 -
You know we have one thread going on how we are a talkative bunch and one big family and then we have a thread like this where there is nothing but whining and petty bickering about an insignificant sign and then we have another member pouting and storming off because he didn't get his way. I can't believe the immaturity and pettiness going on here. GROW UP.0

So, what authority do you and your cohorts have to slander and judge me for my beliefs? Then, you have to insult me with your cocky references to Hustler and Autoweek. And again, your attempt at an apology was insulting. But isn't that the way it goes here when someone doesn't agree, they get trashed.0 -
...and this will have to be the final word on the topic, as I'm closing this thread without further comment.0
