Driver Man's Vanity Plates Attract Tickets for Vehicles Without Tags

There are things Danny White really loves. The Redskins. His red Chevy Avalanche. And a good joke. “Just having fun!” he said with a laugh.

Twenty-five years ago, Danny wanted to have a little fun with his vanity plate, a DC license plate that reads “NO-TAGS.” People, he said, “see my tag. ‘Oh! You from D.C.! I like your tag!’”

Well, almost everyone. “D.C. don’t get the joke,” he said, shaking his head. “They don’t get it.”

Because now the joke is on him: “I’ve got enough tickets here to plaster my whole car.”

I heard this story on NPR this morning. Mr. White is very invested in that joke, apparently. I would have given up by now.

From what I can tell, the joke is:

NO-*Something* Avalanche Go Skins

"Joke" or no, that horrible team name still need to be scrapped.
