Ooh, I've always had a good one, but I don't have the balls to use it (or the presence to pull it off - though it could be funny on a mini van full of kids).
Thanks for the thought, cw, but I hate vanity plates. I'd much rather spend the money on furs and diamond jewelry and tons and tons of cosmetics. Or, alternately, my gas bill.
Plus, I can never decipher them. What the hell is HND2MTH? Seriously.
My dad says that one his profs in grad school (for physics) had a license plate that was a six-digit number. Eventually the students figured out that it was a vanity plate--he was involved in a dispute over the value of some constant, and his plate was the number he thought the constant had.
I think that's the sort of vanity plate that suits our demographic....
My high school physics teacher wanted to get a license plate that said "FISMA", but someone else already had it.
I don't care about the plates but I want a plateholder thing (you know what I'm talking about though I can't remember the name) that says "I'd rather be contemplating the eternal".

That's good, but I don't think you could get it by the DMV censors.

It's the story of Oedipus Rex told entirely through vanity plates.

There are a lot I don't understand. Either because I don't know what they mean: MSBH Or why they're banned: SMILE

Ah, hand to mouth.
I'm going with the argument that on some subliminal level I must have realized that, given the rest of my comment.

California only gives you seven letters? Eat our dust, America! North Carolina - home of the eight-letter vanity plates, boyee!
