Warning signs

Watching CNN this morning, I saw that Florida has managed to get a law passed requiring persons convicted of DUI offences to have a licence plate indicating the same. These plates would be pink and orange (why those colours I wonder?) and the number would be of the form “DUI XXX”.

Of course the civil liberties folks are contesting this but I can see where this type of system could prove useful. Imagine if people (and their cars) could be labelled so that you know what you will be dealing with:

  • DUI
    • On a car - Driver been convicted of drunk driving in the past
    • On a person - “Drinks Until Inanimate” - You know to stay away from these people at a party because they will be drinking till their sweat is in danger of exploding if too near a flame and continuing till they fall flat on their face requiring your assistance to get them home.
  • ZZZ
    • On a car - Driver had incidents of falling asleep behind the wheel
    • On a person - These people either have narcolepsy or cause symptoms of such with their boring personality and conversational skills.
  • WTF
    • On a car - Driver has been charged with road rage in the past
    • On a person - “What The F**k?” - Get yourself some earplugs if you plan to interact because these people can’t go more than one sentence without throwing in some expletive.
  • TMI
    • On a car - Driver has previously been written up for indecent exposure
    • On a person - “Too Much Information” - We all know these people that have no qualms about discussing loudly and in public (often on cell phones) their most intimate issues and health problems.
  • IOU
    • On a car - Driver currently running around with a trail of unpaid traffic tickets
    • On a person - “Indefinitely Owing Until” - Beware of your money because these guys always borrow and never return your stuff whether it is money, books or a pen.
  • IMO
    • On a car - Driver has been written up for traffic violations such as failing to yield
    • On a person - “In My Opinion” - Be prepared to hear what they think because they will tell you and everyone else within earshot, whether they are asked or not.
  • PMS
    • On a car - Driver been charged with reckless endangerment, changing lanes without indicating etc.
    • On a person - “Potentially Manic Syndrome” - Male or female, these people are prone to mood swings that will take out anyone within range.
Right now I am feeling kinda excited emoticon excited...
