How about "1469" or rather "2469"

[Poohbah]

Nah.

County Road 3MTA3.

[A. Goodwin]

Maybe I'm dense, but I don't get it. What's so obscene about this name?

[eddie willers]

What's wrong with me?
I don't get what's obscene about the road or your joke, either.

Have I gotten old?

[eddie willers]

You old too? :o)

[Poohbah]

1. Write "3MTA3" on a sheet of paper.

2. Hold paper up to mirror. Read mirror image.

[TomServo]

Uhhhh.....Substitute 'E' for '3'. And spell it in reverse order. ;-)

[byrony]

Can't do it. I'd see my own image and die.

[Poohbah]

That was my tactical callsign during several exercises in the USMC until my superiors caught on...

``There is no policy on how to handle road name changes of this type,'' county engineer Frank Page said. ``If we start changing road names now, we could open up a floodgate here of everyone wanting to change their road's name.''

You bet their ass they'd bend over backwards and find a way to change it to Martin Luther King road.

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

This is nothing. You should have seen the license plate that my state issued me. It was so pornographic that I refused to put it on my car and had to get a custom plate.

[TomServo]

Outstanding! I'm surprised they didn't catch on at first glance.

[asformeandformyhouse]

My suggestion: "OICU812".

[Poohbah]

They didn't get the significance of "Three Mike Tango Alfa Three" until someone slapped a map overlay on backwards, and my security element was just about dead-center, all by its lonesome.

[Jonah Hex]

How about changing it to "MST3K"?

[Poohbah]

"OU812" was a Van Hagar (Van Halen with Sammy Hagar) album.

[TomServo]

LOL!!!!

In addition to County Road 6FU, petitioners want the road named Sheep Mountain Road, though some commissioners say that may confuse dispatchers. The county already has a Sheep Mountain Lane.

So instead of F.U., they want it named "Sheep Mountin' Road".

Is this in Wyoming, or West Virginia?

When I went through EOD school in the 60's when Vietnam was going hot and heavy, we had a number of Navy Refreser classes in the school.

I used to enjoy telling gross jokes in highschool and college until I met some of these sailors. They all thought my gross jokes were personal sea stories which pretty much described their "normal" everyday lifestyle. These guys were a bunch of animals.

Anyway back to the story at hand, the designatiton for the Navy classes was 1Q or 2Q. Normally, they had no more than two classes going through at the same time. But, like I said, things were heating up for Vietnam and they had four classes when I was there, and the animals of the animals seemed to all be in class four.

I can still remember the classes reporting when we had formations. I will never forget the loud "4Q Sir, All Present".

I could write a book on some of the things these guys pulled while they terrorized the EOD School and the Indianhead area, especially the episodes with the pig.

It's in Wyoming, where the men are men...and the sheep are nervous!
