License Plate Mistake a Headache for Christian Motorist SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. — Sally Warner, 43, became a Christian while reading the biblical book of Titus. A week later she submitted a form to the DMV requesting a personalized license plate. But her request for a plate reading "TITUS 4U" arrived at her home reading "TITS 4U." "I was crushed," Warner says. "I couldn't bring myself to put them on my car. The DMV people have been very sympathetic, but they insist I use these plates until new ones arrive." Warner, a nurse, owns one car and has to drive to work every day. Now other motorists honk at her on the highway, and men make rude "breast-squeezing" gestures, she says, "and not just truckers." She often finds notes with phone numbers left on her windshield. "All I can think is, 'This is what I get for trying to share the best thing that ever happened to me?'" Warner told a reporter through tears. The DMV says they are expediting Warner's request, and that there may be an upside to the unfortunate episode. "Her plate may actually be a collector's item," said a DMV spokeswoman. "We're not allowed to put certain words on license plates and 'tits' is certainly one of them. We're puzzled how this happened." www.larknews.com |

"The DMV people have been very sympathetic, but they insist I use these plates until new ones arrive." This has got to be Onion. |

I've never heard of Lark News, but according to wiki: "Lark News is a comedy newsletter satirizing contemporary American Christian culture, specifically evangelicalism." |

Giving the game away like this is generally rewarded with 40 days and 40 nights of bad luck. |

It's one of my favorite sites. Another news item: Rapture takes two OTTAWA — The Rapture occurred March 31, 2005, at 9:43 a.m. Greenwich Mean Time and took both people on the planet whose theology was exactly correct. Dan Wilson of Ottawa, Canada, was snatched away while sleeping. "He spent years refining his eschatological scheme," says his wife. "Just last week he told me he had it all right, but I still disagreed with him on a minor point. I regret that now." Rejna Thanawalla of New Delhi, India, also experienced the Rapture, say friends. "She knew exactly what the books of Revelation and Daniel meant," they say. "Sadly, none of us listened to her." In a surprise, Tim LaHaye says he was "slightly wrong on the subject of the Beast," and was left behind. Other prophecy experts say they, too, botched minor points in their end times charts. "Looks like we'll have to stay and wait this out," said one disappointed pastor. |
