A Canadian man whose real last name “Assman,” was deemed “unacceptable” for a personalized license plate has taken it a step further and emblazoned the back of his truck with a giant design of the offending plate.
Dave Assman (pronounced “Oss-man), who lives in the province of Saskatchewan, said the denial upset him, but “I’m not one of those guys to take offense to it.”
Assman posted a photo Tuesday of a giant decal which bears his last name and spans the truck’s tailgate. The decal is styled after a typical Saskatchewan license plate.
“Just as Sgi anticipated me appealing my denial I also anticipated them refusing my appeal !” read his now-viral post. “I could have got a plate for the front but I really wanted a vanity plate on the back of my truck !
Dave should just change the spelling of his last name to match the pronunciation, but that's his choice. Sounds like he's got a good sense of humor.
Is Assman a proper noun or an adjective... I guess it depends on who one is describing.
ReplyDeleteHe should just move to New York, where Cosmo Kramer lived.

The story about the denied tag was on the news last week and it's one that hangs in your memory. Props to him for metaphorically sticking a finger in the government's eye. Be prepared to hear he's been arrested for the tail gate.
